Atlanta, Ga. – CWA District 3 reached a tentative agreement with AT&T covering about 35,000 CWA-represented workers at AT&T Southeast.

The agreement covers workers at AT&T (formerly BellSouth), Utilities, BAPCO and Billing in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

"In these very difficult economic times, CWA was able to maintain the job security provisions that were currently in the contract, along with quality health care. The team worked very hard to achieve a fair and equitable contract," said CWA District 3 Vice President Judy Dennis.

The CWA bargaining team unanimously supports the agreement and recommends ratification. A contract explanation meeting will be held for local presidents, starting the ratification process.

The three-year tentative agreement increases pay by 9 percent compounded over the contract term and provides pension band increases of 2 percent in each year of the agreement.

More details will be available after they are provided to the membership.

Bargaining is continuing for about 4,000 workers at AT&T East (CWA Local 1298).

Currently 17000 union employees, in 12 years the workforce has been reduced over 50%. Stankey is in the process of reducing management levels now.
