AMERICANS AGAINST AT&T LAYOFFS
We the undersigned are seriously concerned over the announced Layoffs and any future Layoffs that may be announced. We are asking that AT&T immediately cease with the announced Layoffs and work with Communications Workers of America (CWA) to save jobs. There is plenty of work to be done, and the community should not have to suffer.
Why is this important?
Forbes reported that AT&T was worth over $265 Billion Dollars in total assets. Forbes ranked AT&T 13th on Forbes Global 2000, which ranks the most powerful companies in the world. Why would a company ranked 13th in the world be laying off. Some may blame Greedy CEO's and Share Holders. Some may blame the fact that AT&T has out sourced many of its Middle Class jobs to Foreign Countries. Others may blame failed plans to buy T-Mobile USA. Regardless of who you blame, we all can agree that America can't afford not one additional layoff. AT&T employees are banning together with Communications Workers of America (CWA), hundreds of other Labor Unions, Politicians and Clergy, to put an end to the WAR on Middle Class Workers. AT&T proposed layoffs could cause foreclosures in your neighborhoods while their out sourced worked will create job opportunities, housing, and help build economies in other countries. That’s why it is extremely important that you join with fellow Americans to save jobs, and create jobs here in the United States of America. CWA is known for being a Community Minded Union. So should the company our Members work for.
