We remain very far apart at the bargaining table. Critical issues like wages, pensions, health care, employment security, and working conditions are still at stake. We believe that working without a contract while bargaining continues to remain in our best interests, for now.

Mobilization is more important than ever.

Our battle for a fair and just contract has only begun. Everyone must be involved in this struggle. Our strength in bargaining comes from a strong and visible mobilization effort. Make sure the company knows that we stand together behind our bargaining team. Your power is what will move AT&T at the bargaining table.

•           If at some point we decide it is time to strike, we will make that decision, not the company.

The Scab

"After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab."

"A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles."

"When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out."

"The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer."

Author --- Jack London (1876-1916)

In unity there is strength and now is the time to hold the line.
