Check out the side-by-side comparison of CWA and Mobility's position on our key issues at http://www.cwa-union.org/att/mobility.

3. Right now, we're working without a contract and here's what that means.

Our wages, benefits, including health care, and working conditions remain exactly same. They cannot be changed while we continue to work.

Remember: we're not alone. Our goal is to get a fair contract and we're working hard to make that happen. Tonight, we'll be talking with local leaders on a conference call.

We'll post updates twice a day, to make sure you have the information you need. If you have questions, e-mail UnityatATT@cwa-union.org .

02/09/09-Update

Washington, D.C. – The contract covering 20,000 AT&T Mobility workers represented by the Communications Workers of America expired at midnight, with several critical issues not resolved. CWA and Mobility bargainers met briefly yesterday, and at that time, CWA requested a 30-day contract extension because of the number and complexity of remaining bargaining issues. AT&T Mobility refused.

For now, employees will continue to report to work. For workers, the terms of the contract remain in effect, meaning that wages, working conditions and benefits like health care will continue unchanged, with the exception of arbitration for grievances.

CWA has made it clear to Mobility that it is prepared to bargain at any time to resolve the issues in these negotiations. Unfortunately, AT&T Mobility has shown no willingness to do so.

"CWA is disappointed that Mobility management would rather bargain in the media and use scare tactics to frighten employees instead of sitting down and working out an equitable agreement," said CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill.

"AT&T Mobility employees are a big part of the company's success. They are looking for an equitable agreement that recognizes their part in making AT&T Mobility an industry leader," she said. AT&T, even in these challenging economic times, is a profitable company and should be a leader in maintaining quality jobs.

CWA members at AT&T Mobility voted by an 85 percent yes vote to authorize a strike if a fair and equitable contract isn't reached. In these negotiations, CWA represents 20,000 Mobility workers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, the mid-West, Mountain States and the West Coast.

Bargaining Report 13

| February 3, 2009 |

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 13

Bargaining resumed today with the Company presenting its proposal on their Economic offer. In other words, your wage increase or lack thereof.

The Union's Bargaining Team is appalled at what this Company has proposed to be a wage package they can afford. It was taken as a slap in the face from a Company who reported revenue earnings of 123 billion dollars this past year. How can this Company continue to line their pockets when its employees, our members, continue struggling to make ends meet? What the Company is proposing to be a fair wage increase wouldn't even offset the Health Care premium that has been imposed on each employee.

The Company rejected the Union's proposals on Article 25-Exchange Time, Letters of Agreement on Close Key Time, Motor Vehicle Usage Program and Health Care Coordinator.

The Union presented proposals on Article 13-Work Assignment and Article 14-Force Adjustment. Letter of Agreement 5 was also presented suggesting improvements to the sub-contracting language.

The Union is waiting with bated breath for the Company's response.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Wednesday, February 4, 2009.

Stay Informed. Be Prepared. Expect the best.

BARGAINING REPORT 12

| February 2, 2009 |

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 12

Bargaining resumed today in yet another day of listening to "sweet nothings" from the Company.

It's hard to believe that this Company, which is rated as one of the top Fortune 500 companies, has no interest in anything that would better your working conditions.

Today, the Company rejected the Union's proposals on Article 16-Safety, Article 18-Union Activities, Article 20-Travel, Article 21-Absence and Article 23-Holidays. On a more positive note, the Company did present a modification to Article 22-Vacation. The Company's proposed language will once again pay out unused earned vacation time without the requirement of DEATH.

For a change, the Company did present additional proposals for the Union to review. None worth mentioning and none that amounts to anything more than additional retrogressions.

With less than a week left to go, it becomes clearer ever day that this Company is more interested in not losing what they believe is total control than losing their workforce at the stroke of midnight on Saturday, February 7, 2009.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, February 3, 2009.

Stay Informed. Be Prepared. Expect the best.

While formal discussions did not resume at the bargaining table, the Company and the Union held off line discussions relevant to the data requests that have been presented by the Union in an effort to expedite the bargaining process.

The Union and the Company continued to work on all Articles and Letters of Agreements that have been presented to date.

BARGAINING REPORT 10

| January 31, 2009 |

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 10

Bargaining resumed today with the Company in what is being categorized as a day of utter disgust. This company still doesn't understand the concept of respect for our members and their families.

The Company responded to a number of Articles and Letters of Agreement that have been presented by the Union over the past few days. The Union proposals to create an Academic Awards program, establish Close Key Time, Retiree Health Care, the Alliance and Exchange Time were rejected by the Company. Obviously while your Union's Bargaining Team is working diligently to improve the quality of your work environment and establish parameters that would allow enhancements to the career path one selects, the Company has no interest.

The Union presented language on improvements to Article 20-Travel, Article 21-Absence, Article 22-Vacation and Article 23-Holidays. A new Letter of Agreement proposing language to establish a Health Care Benefits Coordinator was also presented to the Company.

The Company is reviewing all proposed Articles and Letters of Agreement.

As you can see bargaining is not going well. This Company has no interest in you or any aspect of your working conditions. While AT&T preaches the concept of excellence in customer service and satisfaction, they seem to have forgotten who delivers on both. It's time for you to let the company know exactly where this is headed.

Enough is enough. Let your voice be heard. Continue supporting all mobilization activities and show your support for your Bargaining Team as we will not stop until we get what we believe is a fair and equitable contract.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Sunday, February 1, 2009.

Stay Informed. Be Prepared. Expect the best.

BARGAINING REPORT 9

| January 30, 2009 |

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 9

Bargaining resumed today with the Company making the final presentation requested by the Union on the Vacation and Selection Process and the Tour Selection Process for the Retail Sales Organization.

The Union presented several new Letters of Agreement proposing new language on Retiree Health Care, the Alliance-a joint union and company program designed to match employees to changing skill sets and to build career paths and Closed Key Time for Call Center Representatives that would allow for productive off line time to care for customer related issues. Enhanced language was also presented on the Pension Plan suggesting improvements in the areas of vesting and company contributions.

The Company is reviewing all proposed Letters of Agreement.

Once again, the Company had no proposals for the Union.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Saturday, January 31, 2009.

Bargaining resumed today after the Company delivered on the Union's request for presentations regarding the Vacation and Selection Process and the Tour Selection Process for both the Consumer and Business Call Centers. A presentation in the same areas for the Retail Sales Organization is scheduled for tomorrow.

An amendment to the Union's original proposal on Article 11-Seniority was presented to the Company re-emphasizing the Union's position that seniority is the cornerstone and foundation on which this Union has been built and must continue to be recognized for all aspects covered by the contractual language.

Language for Article 15-Non-Discrimination and Article 16-Safety was also presented by the Union and is under review by the Company.

The Company had no proposals for the Union.

With only 9 days left until the contract expiration date of February 7, 2009, it is crucial that we continue to mobilize and demonstrate to the Company that this Bargaining Unit will do whatever it takes to achieve a fair contract.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Friday, January 30, 2009.

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 6

Bargaining resumed today and ended rather quickly. Obviously the Company missed the Bargaining Team's message from yesterday.

Once again the Company's distasteful approach at weakening this Union and their total disregard for what this Union stands for has halted negotiations.

The Union's Bargaining Team is anxious to negotiate.

Bargaining will resume once the Company retracts all inappropriate activities that have occurred to date, reigns in their rogue Managers who continue to intimidate and harass our members and proves they are ready to bargain seriously.

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 5

Bargaining resumed today in a heated and intense discussion with the Company trying to justify its unsuccessful attempt to weaken the unions' strength in certain jurisdictions.

The Union Chair and spokesperson, Bill Bates, in no uncertain terms, made it clear to the Company that the Union will not tolerate these tactics.

An amendment to Article 25-Exchange Time was proposed by the Union. Language to ensure flexibility was added to allow our members time to care for their personal needs in conjunction with their work obligations.

The Union also proposed a modification to Letter of Agreement 13 which addresses monitoring. The Union contends that the Company has moved away from the true meaning and intent of this language, which if administered correctly, provides for positive coaching and development while caring for the customer.

The Company had no proposals for the Union.

Attacks towards our Part Time Employees topped the list as the Company attempts to slash existing provisions for severance payouts.

It is clear that the Company is not serious about negotiating a fair contract.

A strong message needs to be sent by you, our members, throughout the work locations. The Company needs to understand we will not settle for anything less than a fair and equitable contract.

Bargaining continued today with another session of company take backs.

While the Union continues working on proposals to improve your wages, benefits and other conditions of employment, the company obviously has an agenda of its own to take back your current contractual benefits.

The company in its proposals on Article 21-Absences, Article 22-Vacations and Article 24-Excused Days with Pay (EWP) wants to implement changes that would lengthen the waiting period for sick pay, cap the number of sick days one is paid for per calendar year and eliminate the payout for entitled vacation time and EWP's in the event the employee leaves the payroll under any and all circumstances except DEATH.

Amendments to Article 15-Discrimination and Article 18-Union Activities were presented by the Union and are under review by the company.

Intimidation and harassment by the company against our union membership has been addressed at the bargaining table and should continue to be reported to your Union leadership immediately.

Bargaining Report 1

CWA AND AT&T MOBILITY BARGAINING REPORT # 1

Bargaining discussions began today in Richmond, Va. in an attempt to negotiate a fair and equitable contract before the contract expiration of February 7, 2009.

The company in its opening remarks quickly set the tone of their agenda as it presented several proposed changes that are clearly viewed as retrogressions by the Union bargaining team.

The Union Chair responded by putting the company on notice that tactics of intimidations, harassment and interference with the bargaining process and mobilization would not be tolerated.

The company proposals on Article 2-Recognition and Article 27-Duration of Agreement suggested the removal of Districts 7 and 9 from the Orange contract. While AT&T publicly states they are "One AT&T", their proposals suggested the opposite. This proposal is a clear attempt to divide the Union.

The company proposal on Article 23-Holidays would change the Day after Thanksgiving from a Holiday to a Floating Holiday. This holiday, which the Union has fought for over many years, allows our members time off to spend with their family and loved ones. This company proposal would radically change that.

Proposals on Article 7-Grievance Procedure and Article 9-Arbitration were also presented and are under review by the Union.

Bargaining is scheduled to resume on Friday, January 23, 2009.

Stay Informed. Be Prepared. Expect the best.

AT&T Mobility Bargaining Opening Statement

| January 21, 2009 |

Today CWA and AT&T will begin historic negotiations. Historic, not only because this will be the largest labor negotiations this year, but also because the political climate in the country has changed. President Obama's swearing in Tuesday has helped set our country on a new course. A course that will include good paying jobs to help the economic stimulus package succeed, as opposed to just bailouts. Part of the stimulus package will be a major build-out of the nation's high-speed Internet networks in both rural and urban areas that will help bring the United States back to their leadership position in the communication industry. Once passed, this will create many job opportunities for CWA as well as continued revenue growth for AT&T. As we are willing to use our political influence to help in this endeavor, it does not come unconditional. We must insist that our Members have careers – not just jobs. Careers that have decent wages that will afford them the opportunity to support their families – not to qualify for state aid. Wages that will help pay for their healthcare costs. Wages that will help send their kids to college and pay their bills without worrying if they have enough money to keep them warm in the winter. Careers that will give them the opportunity to advance within the entire company – not just within Mobility. Careers that will have a future. A future that will require training and retraining to guarantee their success. Careers that will allow them to work to retirement age with a pension that they can live on. A retiree healthcare plan that will see to their needs without having to choose between eating or buying their medicine.

We will also be negotiating for RESPECT issues. Respect for the workers, respect for the Union, respect for the customers who deserve trained qualified employees.

We are quite aware of the country's economic crisis, but AT&T is a Fortune 10 corporation with the economic means to provide a decent contract to our Members. AT&T is a $150 billion corporation with $123 billion in sales. They have enjoyed a plus 88 percent sales growth in the last year. This is a direct result of CWA Members' dedication and hard work. Most recent studies have predicted that Smart Phones are recession-proof. As customers upgrade to these devices, it will only increase revenue for AT&T. According to a ComScore study, nearly 30 percent of cell phone owners report paying more than $100 per month.

We are not bargaining in a vacuum. While the Company would like us to believe that we are here only to address the Orange Contract -- using your words "WE ARE ONE AT&T". We will look to all of CWA and the entire labor community to help us in our efforts. As I stated earlier, this is the largest labor agreement to be negotiated this year. The entire country will be watching. We have the privilege to go first and the duty to deliver a fair and just contract that our Members will ratify.

Let me be perfectly clear. CWA is ready and willing to do whatever it takes to secure a contract with AT&T. Our strike fund is healthy – our Membership is mobilized – our resolve is strong – and our cause is just. We do not view our task lightly. We have a tremendous opportunity to negotiate a breakthrough agreement and we will not settle for anything less.

CWA/AT&T MOBILITY BENEFITS BARGAINING REPORT

June 30, 2008

The bargaining concluded on 6/30/2008.

It is now turned over to a Federal Mediator who will attempt to facilitate a tentative agreement. Mediation will begin on July 14th & continue for 10 days. Mediation is an “off the record” process that is not binding to either party. Discussions during this period may not be used by either party in the event that no agreement is reached.

If no agreement is reached at the end of 10 days the bargaining will be turned over to an arbitrator.

The Arbitrator’s decision will be binding on both parties. This is very different from what we are used to on wire-line.

We are asking ALL union members to wear band-aids on Thursdays to demonstrate our support of the mobility health bargaining team.

CWA/AT&T MOBILITY BENEFITS BARGAINING REPORT

June 16, 2008

The Bargaining Committee met again with the Company on Friday with demands that they provide outstanding data still owed to us. It is still apparent that we are the only ones who came to this table to look for possible solutions to what the Company says, but can't show, are problems with the current health care plan. Instead, the Company wants us to simply put forward another proposal with "shot in the dark" ingredients of retrogression! But we are not interested in giving into the astronomically impacting demand the Company proposed on June 4!

The Company's suggestion that, for a family, an employee who earns the average salary within Mobility today should have to pay out more than 17 percent of their annual income before the plan kicks in is insane, let alone unreasonable and immoral! We feel that the Company has wasted enough time avoiding the questions and they need to get serious if we have any chance at reaching a tentative agreement! They need to DO THE RIGHT THING!

The Bargaining Committee appreciates all of the support you have shown!!

Bargaining has been recessed and will reconvene on June 27.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CWA/AT&T MOBILITY BENEFITS BARGAINING REPORT

June 13, 2008

The Bargaining Committee met with the Company late into the night with questions and challenges about some of the data they have thus far provided. But the Company's responses continue to be meager and evasive and have yet to substantiate a financial need to shift a significant amount of health care costs onto the backs of our hard working members! In spite of us continually asking the question, they have yet to even identify anything specific in the current plan they believe to be their problem high cost areas. All they can say is that the Union's proposal goes in the wrong direction!

We have come to these negotiations with the goal of reaching an agreement by June 30, but it appears that the Company did not.

Could it be they are hiding behind the buzz on health care to simply force our members to pay more?

We say it's time, AT&T, that you put your money where your mouth is. Start working with us and give us the tools we need in order to find viable solutions to possible problems. . . .we have never been afraid of a little hard work!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CWA/AT&T MOBILITY BENEFITS BARGAINING REPORT

June 5, 2008

On Tuesday, your committee passed a proposal that we believe is fair, equitable and affordable for our membership.

The company's response yesterday was that our proposal would be a 60 percent increase in cost to them. And, instead of backing up their claim with supporting facts and data, they chose to simply pass a proposal that will increase our premiums by up to 540 percent! In addition to that, the Company proposal includes increases in out-of-pocket expenses which could be as much as 1/3 of the annual base wage for the average employees salary!

The proposal passed by the company is an insult and shows a total lack of respect for CWA and our membership! It is clear that the new AT&T has no appreciation for the employees who made them the number one wireless company.

Needless to say, we have a long tough battle before us!!

The Bargaining Committee thanks everyone for their continued support!
