CWA Reaches Tentative Contracts at AT&T Midwest, Legacy

Washington, D.C. -- CWA bargaining teams reached tentative agreements last night in separate negotiations with AT&T Midwest and AT&T Legacy. Summaries of the tentative agreements will be posted at www.cwaatatt.com. Details are being provided to CWA members for ratification votes. 

A key goal for the negotiations that began in February was to ensure an overall improvement in workers’ standard of living. The tentative agreements provide for wage increases, pension safeguards, improvements in job security and other gains, resulting in real economic improvement for workers.  

CWA represents about 13,000 workers at AT&T Midwest operations in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. AT&T Legacy is a nationwide unit representing about 4,500 workers. 

Negotiations with AT&T Southeast, covering 27,000 workers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, get underway this summer.

CWA represents 700,000 workers in telecommunications, media, airlines, public service and manufacturing.
