that AT&T contracts are adhered to as we understand them.
Build the
largest possible AASBCR® retiree membership base in order to provide the
maximum possible impact on retiree issues with governmental bodies and
AT&T.
Use
shareholder proposals to gain retiree issue recognition and attention from
AT&T.
Influence
and assist in the development of legislation (Independently and in
cooperation with the NRLN) that will protect promised retiree benefits
from shrinkage.
Extend
our collective influence by being a member of the NRLN, learning from
other NRLN members and providing support to the NRLN
Engage in
Litigation as a last resort where a “cause of action” exists in the
retiree benefit arena.
