AT&T IBEW Contract Negotiations

Collective bargaining agreements between AT&T and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers expire on June 27. Both AT&T and IBEW remain committed to bargaining in good faith with the objective of reaching a fair and reasonable agreement. Key issues continue to be wages, benefits, pensions and work rules. The agreements cover a total of approximately 8,900 employees. The majority of those employees, about 8,650 are in a Core Wireline contract in Illinois and Indiana. The balance are in a Legacy AT&T Corp. contract scattered across the United States.

AT&T is proud to be one of America's largest employers and the largest private-sector employer of full-time union labor. As a major union employer, collective bargaining has long been a regular part of our business, and we have a strong tradition of mutual respect in collective bargaining negotiations with our union partners. Leadership from both the company and the union is committed to reaching agreements that are fair to employees and provide the company the flexibility it needs in today's highly competitive telecommunications environment.
