Why
do we wear red/black? All
of the things that we do are called Mobilization. According
to Webster mobilization means: to assemble and make ready for battle. 2009
contract negotiations is OUR battle to fight AT&T’s corporate greed,
and get the fair contract we all need and deserve. Wearing
Red started in 1989 when a CWA Local 1103 Brother, Gerry Horgan, lost his
life on a picket line, fighting to protect his family’s benefits, and his
rights & working conditions. Gerry
was killed by a SCAB while he was standing up for what he believed in. In
honor of Gerry, and the thousands of other hard working men and women that
paid the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives fighting for the rights,
wages and benefits we enjoy today, we started wearing red on Thursdays
across the country. We
began wearing black on Fridays to mourn the thousands of Union jobs being
lost as AT&T started mass layoffs after divestiture in 1983. Wearing
red (every day until we get a contract) and black on Fridays, not only pays
respect, but more importantly it shows the company that
we are UNITED in our battle to get and keep the benefits, wages and
working conditions that we deserve, and the company can clearly afford to
maintain. You
Can’t Win
Alone, as a |
