		Premise Tech MOA Defeated 09/30/07 It would appear AT&T's first offer for Bargaining 2009 came in the form of a Company proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to add the Premise Tech title to the CWA/BellSouth contract under a new Appendix D. Click here for the complete MOA. Local Presidents voted 82-8 AGAINST this MOA. The Company decided to hire non-represented Premise Techs anyway reportedly to perform only Project Lightspeed work. This is where you come in. Report any non-craft individuals performing non-craft work. Take the time to read the MOA. What the Company had in mind for Premise Techs they likely intend for the rest of us as well. They are already implementing some of the measures on management already, such as assigning vacation. Yes, telling you when you can take your vacation.
		Attention "Free Rider$" 11/24/07: The next time you hear a non-member badmouthing our union, challenge them to sign this pledge and see what happens! "I am opposed to all unions. Therefore, I am opposed to all benefits that my union has won through the years: paid vacations, paid holidays, sick leave, seniority rights, wage increases, pension and insurance plans, safety laws, Workmen?s Compensation, Social Security, time and a half for overtime, unemployment benefits and job security. I refuse to accept any benefits that will be won by future union negotiations with my company and I hereby authorize and direct the company to withhold the amount of the union won benefits from my paycheck each payday and donate it to charity or pay it to shareholders or executive bonuses." If they sign it, please bring the original copy to CWA Local 3204.
