Conservatives need to set up a massive fund to enact litigation against unfair and politically biased public entities. ATT is a publicly held company and perhaps collaborative conspiratorial bias would form a basis for a law suit.
“There is nothing there that says employees have to contribute to the company PAC.
Its like contributing to a company United Way fund.”
Which version of that letter did you read?
Can I just give to The Human Fund?
Telephone poles?
I sincerely wish we still had them here, and old-fashioned land lines...
(Cell phones are horrible, compared with the reliability and sound clarity we used to receive on the old land lines.)
My company gets some government contracts, has a PAC, and tries to get people to donate, but the rate is around 10% or less of employees.
I imagine that ATT will have the same amount of luck getting people to participate.
Couldn’t be legal to strong arm employees for political contributions!
In the old days we were hit up for United Way contributions.
I was just in a meeting with a group I volunteer with. This was some of the discussion. What happens when we get booted?
Thanks. Friends, don’t buy AT&T/WarnerMedia products or services.
The one posted here. And filter with knowledge of what corporate PAC funds are.
An employer cannot force you to make political contributions. It can encourage them through structures like a PAC, through salary deduction, just like charitable contributions, through structures like United Way. But you have to request to implement these salary deductions.
Just like United Way, you can designate a particular beneficiary for your salary deduction contributions. What AT&T is saying here is that it will not permit contributions via their system to politicians it doesn’t like.
Heil, ATT!
Get fiber. Or even DSL. You can get a phone with those on most plans.
No source.
Recommend removal of thread as baseless.
I’d have seen it.
The PAC does exist. Here’s the evidence of that.
AT&T INC./WARNERMEDIA LLC FEDERAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (AT&T/WARNERMEDIA FEDERAL PAC)

“No source.

What? Are you serious? Blue Falcon! This is solid info. The source is the ATT PAC. I cant give you my source. It would jeopardize their job.
Big corporations have done that for years - PACs, United Way, etc. But you don’t have to do it. I manage to survive and get promoted without doing that sort of thing before I retired.
... or you can just contribute a $1 a paycheck and the hounding goes away.
SO!? They’ve been doing it for 40 years for sure,probably longer
