Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Siblings,
I am writing to share some important news regarding our collective bargaining efforts. We have reached a tentative agreement with AT&T on a new collective bargaining agreement. This significant achievement is the result of the tireless work and dedication of your duly elected bargaining committee.
I am pleased to inform you that our International Executive Board has approved this tentative agreement. To ensure that everyone is fully informed about the details and implications of this agreement, we are scheduling a contract explanation meeting with your leadership.
Please stay ready and engaged, as we will be sharing more information in the coming days. Your participation and understanding of this agreement are crucial as we move forward together.
Thank you for your continued support and solidarity.
In unity,

We are pleased to announce that we’ve reached a tentative agreement with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in West contract negotiations. We’re committed to providing the resources and opportunities for our employees to have fulfilling careers as they provide world-class connectivity to our customers and communities. As part of this, we support employees’ total wellbeing with wages and benefits that are among the best in the nation, such as:
- Substantial wage increases and paid time off
- Benefits for retirement and quality healthcare
- Family planning benefits
- Career development opportunities
We’ll provide more information about the tentative agreement once the CWA shares it with its members, and we expect the ratification vote to happen in the coming weeks.
We have now reached 14 agreements with the unions since the beginning of 2022, including 2 contracts ratified earlier this year.
