Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Is CWA and IBEW aware of what is going to happen to AT&T IN 2021?

FACT 1

IBEW AND CWA CONTACTS HAVE EITHER BEEN NEGOTIATED THRU OR BEYOND MID 2O22, OR BEEN EXTENDED.

FACT 2

ON NOVEMBER 13, THE FOLLOWING EMAIL WENT OUT

CRP NOTIFICATION

EVENT TITLE:

4th Quarter Financial Announcement - Global Network Restriction

CRP NUMBER:

CRP 11307

START DATE:

01/27/2021 03:00

END DATE:

DESCRIPTION:

Due to the high profile of AT&T during the day of the 4th Quarter Financial Announcement, it has been decided at an Executive Level to implement a Network Restriction for this event. No Work Activity will be allowed to ensure that all networks operate with minimal disruption. As always, emergency work to restore failed service is permitted.

Which was followed by three more for 1st quarter, 2nd quarter 3rd quarter

Look at the time frame from 3:00 AM to 4 PM CDT, in this case, and each time after.

I have asked both current and retiree employees, who say they have never seen this before.

Fact 3

On April 16, 2020

CWA MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT

“Frontier Communications filed for bankruptcy this week. CWA members and leaders have been preparing for the bankruptcy for several months as the company's finances continued to deteriorate. In a message to CWA members, Frontier stated its intention to honor CWA's collective bargaining agreements.”

https://cwa-union.org/news/frontier-communications-declares-bankruptcy

IT IS WHY I BELIEVE CWA HAS BEEN EXTENDING CONTRACTS INSTEAD OF NEGOTIATING A NEW CONTRACT, SINCE JUNE, WITH DISTRICT 6 AND NOW WIRELESS BLACK/ORANGE. They learned their lesson.

I WISH ALSO AND WANT TO PROVIDE WHAT CAN HAPPEN, IF AND I REPEAT IF, AT&T WHERE TO FOLLOW FRONTIER’S EXAMPLE.

https://cwa-union.org/news/faq-on-frontier-bankruptcy

THIS CONCERNING PENSION AND WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Anyone, who has gone thru a bankruptcy, knows that an attorney will inform them to get rid of anything that is secured debt because they must continue making payments on these items.

For example, DirecTV, Zander, and the Time Warner project are all things AT&T cannot control, and many buildings are not necessary,, Gee, is that happening?

Chapter 11 allows corporations to petition the court TO SEE if union contracts are in the interest of the company. After they sell anything that can save the company money, such as the wireline, they can then put in for bankruptcy relief. An FCC could not override the judge.

See above link

Again I say this as a question. Are CWA and the company aware of something that we are not? My local rep has said there are no offers, so far, for the 1st quarter.

Yes, Global network restriction is part of Change management. Do not schedule or do any planned network changes that may interfere with circuits involved in the upcoming transfer of this important information.

I don't think if there was a bankruptcy in the future that a $2700 payment would have shown up in my AON account. At the point an insolvency can be foretold, a court might have to authorize the payment.

OP attempts to draw a comparison of the failed bankruptcy of Frontier to ATT using a standard email and standard union contract negotiations.

Sorry, I smell either a troll or paranoid delusional schizophrenic.

If it's the latter, see a doctor especially if you recognize any of these symptoms.

Paranoid Symptoms
Delusions are fixed beliefs that seem real to you, even when there's strong evidence they aren't. Paranoid delusions, also called delusions of persecution, reflect profound fear and anxiety along with the loss of the ability to tell what's real and what's not real. They might make you feel like:

A co-worker is trying to hurt you, like poison your food.
Your spouse or partner is cheating on you.
The government is spying on you.
People in your neighborhood are plotting to harass you.
These beliefs can cause trouble in your relationships. And if you think that strangers are going to hurt you, you may feel like staying inside or being alone.

People with schizophrenia aren't usually violent. But sometimes, paranoid delusions can make them feel threatened and angry. If someone is pushed over the edge, their actions usually focus on family members, not the public, and it happens at home.

You could also have related hallucinations, in which your senses aren’t working right. For example, you may hear voices that make fun of you or insult you. They might also tell you to do harmful things. Or you might see things that aren’t really there. Learn more about the symptoms of paranoia.

If you're right, which I don't believe you are, what can the CWA or IBEW do? Absolutely nothing!
