Contracts Expire at AT&T East, Legacy, AT&T East Yellow Pages Operations
Press Release
Separate contracts covering 10,000 workers represented by the Communications Workers of America at AT&T operations expired at midnight EDT, with many important issues not yet resolved. Negotiations are continuing now at AT&T Midwest, covering 15,000 workers, with a deadline of midnight CDT, and AT&T West, covering 18,000, with a deadline of midnight PDT. About 4,000 members of CWA Local 1298 at AT&T East and AT&T East Yellow Pages and 6,000 in the nationwide Legacy unit will continue to report to work for now, although that can change at any time. For workers, the terms of the contracts will remain in effect, meaning that wages, working conditions and benefits like health care will continue unchanged, with the exception of arbitration for grievances.
