AT&T Legacy T - Bargaining Report # 19

In an earlier report we told you about the company?s proposal to change the vacation language. Under their proposal, if you are laid off, resign, retire or are terminated (for anything other than misconduct) and you have not used all your vacation time you only get a portion of the? pay in lieu of vacation? depending on what month you leave the payroll. So, for example, if you are laid off in February and would have been entitled to 5 weeks vacation (200 hours), and haven?t used any yet, you only get 33 hours pay in lieu of vacation. The only improvement in today?s proposal is that they will pay your beneficiaries your full year?s vacation IF YOU DIE!! That was supposed to be an advance!

T-Mobile USA Follows Low-Road Business Model in Cutting Jobs, Closing Call Centers

T-Mobile USA?s decision to close seven call centers, employing 3,300 workers, is a bad one. It harms workers and communities, and in several locations, abuses taxpayers who provided funds to the company in exchange for employment and economic development.
