DROP OUTS 2010 It’s that time of year again. It’s time for those who think that it is CWA’s fault for all of the work related and contract problems with AT&T. I wish it was so one sided then we would get every thing we wanted. It “ain’t” that simple, folks. Here is a list of those, so far, who have chosen to leave our ranks. Andrew Culbreth – BAPCO Timothy Lowell – BAPCO Charles Thomas – BAPCO Christine Gatz – BAPCO Mike Mooney – BAPCO Barbara Tripp – BAPCO (she sent her letter to us although she works in Jacksonville and is not a member of Local 3101). In Unity, Cheryl Comeau REWARD! $50.00 For signing new union members. Build your union and your personal strike fund!

The District has established a Task Force consisting of one Local President from each state to meet with the District and discuss ways we can get important messages to the local members and engage them to action. We have developed a card for members to sign up to participate in mobilization activities and are currently distributing throughout the District. We have also created an online version of the form. Members can access the form from the CWA District 3 Homepage (http://district3.cwa-union.org) In addition, Locals who wish to promote member sign up from their website can click on the following link to obtain the code to add a “You can count on me” button to their website which will take members to our online form. http://district3.cwa-union.org/pages/promote_member_signup We cannot stress enough the importance of getting every member involved, so that we can show the companies we deal with that we are united. The stronger the Union, the stronger the contracts. Thank you all for your cooperation and assistance in this very important campaign. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office. In Unity, Assistant to the Vice President ???Benefits??? Expanding on what I mentioned in my report when it comes to your contractual benefits. It has become too often that I receive a call that someone has been injured and lost pay due to a refusal of disability or lack of accommodation by the company. I always get these calls after the fact. We have been very successful at getting the denials overturned or pay reinstated. This is a very time consuming process that can be avoided with the local’s involvement from the very beginning!!! Please contact your steward as soon as you are injured (on or off the job) or prior to any planned medical procedure in which there will be absences associated. We can assist in the process and therefore be better able to assist when something goes wrong, which it usually does! Dealing with the Integrated Disability Service Center (IDSC)/ Sedgwick (contractor to at&t) is always a difficult task. In the end it is your responsibility to provide them with documentation requested but the local can help clarify want is being asked for and what their decisions actually mean to your situation. The local is aware of the process throughout and can advise members of what needs to be done now and what will the next step be (appeal, grieve, etc…). Just recently I took advantage of the tuition aid program and had the pleasure of dealing with Acclaris (contractor to at&t) and discovered that, like most other bargained for benefits, the company requires you to jump through hoops to take advantage of them. The local can help with this!! If it has anything to do with you/your family and this company we are here to help!!

The triangle symbolizes the three major programs of the union: Representation, Organizing, and Community/Political Action. None can stand alone. 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.
