As a result of intensive talks between CWA and AT&T Southeast (BellSouth) a new Tentative Agreement was reached and is being recommended unanimously by the bargaining team.

The changes from the previous TA are as follows:

•           The Company's contribution to the HRA's will be used to reduce premiums in 2011 to $15 individual and $30 family per month.

•           HRA's have been eliminated for active employees.

•           The SSP will be distributed in  the 4th quarter of each contract year. *SSP is predicated on the performance of the stock.

•           New job security provisions have been agreed upon.

•           Up-front SIPP will be offered to all in title in Organizational Unit regardless of the type work performed..

•           Surplus employees will be given preferential rights to claim term vacancies.

•           Overpayment of benefits will  now be collected in the same manner as overpaid wages.

Additional details will be posted on this website when CWA District 3 makes them available.
