This week, CWA members in the Midwest and at AT&T's national Legacy T unit voted to ratify four-year agreements covering 14,000 workers. The new agreements provide wage increases of 10.5% over the life of the contracts, cap health care costs, and preserve jobs.
"This was a long, hard fight," said CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton. "Thanks to the persistence of our bargaining team, the resilience of our members, and engagement from legislators and allies we won a contract that helps protect jobs and strengthen our communities."
