AT&T Inc. and the Communications Workers of America have reached a tentative agreement that covers approximately 30,000 workers in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The two sides reached the new agreement after union members voted down a contract that negotiators had agreed upon in December. The three-year agreement will be submitted to the district’s members for approval in the next several days.
Like the prior agreement, the new proposal includes pay and pension increases in each year, according to AT&T. It said workers’ health-care benefits remain among the best in the nation and the health-care plan provides for fully funded preventive care.
Changes include significantly lower health-care premiums the second year of the agreement — there would be no premiums the first year — rather than a health reimbursement account. The contract calls for cash payouts in a reward program keyed to the company’s financial performance.
