If the triangle is broken on any side, sooner or later it will be broken on every side. CWA's founding president, Joseph Beirne, called this the "triple threat.

Larry Cohen 20,000 AT AT&T MOBILITY RATIFY NEW FOUR-YEAR PACT Members of the Communications Workers of America employed by AT&T Mobility have approved a new contract for 20,000 workers. The agreement increases wages 8.8 percent over four years and includes a $500 lump-sum ratification payment. More than 11,000 retail sales consultants now will earn a minimum monthly commission of $1,000 if targeted sales goals are met. In addition, some 500 consumer care workers will receive job upgrades and additional pay increases, as will 50-70 wireless technicians. Among other language, the contract says that when shifting positions from full time to part time, the company will ask first for volunteers before imposing the change in reverse seniority order. Laid-off workers will be given priority placement for rehire. Maximum severance payments rise by $3,000 to $15,000. Other important improvement addressed monitoring and quota relief. Mobilization by Mobility workers throughout the Orange territory – Districts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 and 13 – made a tremendous difference as did support from CWA Mobility members in the Southeast and Southwest covered by separate contracts and CWA members at the core AT&T company.
