On June 23, AT&T Mobility's statewide unit of 218 retail sales representatives in South Carolina won representation with CWA, reports District 3 Vice President Noah Savant. A coordinated organizing effort by seven locals overcame the geographic challenges posed by organizing workers at dozens of stores across the state.

To get union representation under CWA's card check agreement with AT&T, a majority of workers must sign cards within 60 days, but the locals accomplished the task in just 45. This is the first group of A&T Mobility workers to be organized in South Carolina. Major concerns for the sales reps are the cost of health care benefits and job security.
