CWA Reaches Tentative Agreement at AT&T Southwest

CWA District 6 and AT&T have reached a tentative four-year agreement covering 27,000 CWA-represented workers at AT&T Southwest.

Members of CWA Local 3805 keep up the pressure for a fair contract at informational picket in Knoxville, Tenn.

The tentative agreement provides for wage increases of 11.5 percent and pension band increases of 8 percent over the contract's four-year term, with cost of living adjustments in the final year. The contract maintains quality health care for active and retired workers and includes new job security protections, among other gains.

The District 6 bargaining committee said, "We felt it was important to stand our ground and push for the best possible contract we could achieve for the hard working union members of District 6." The committee unanimously recommends ratification of the agreement.

Contract information materials are being provided to locals and members, with a ratification vote to be completed November 11. 

Negotiations are continuing for 40,000 CWAers at AT&T Southeast (District 3) and AT&T East (CWA Local 1298).
