CWA Ratifies Agreement for AT&T Wireline Employees in Midwest

AT&T wireline employees represented by the Communications Workers of America voted to ratify a three-year contract for the Midwest region, said the company Friday in a news release. The tentative agreement was reached May 13 and was unanimously endorsed by the CWA bargaining committee that spent more than nine weeks working with the company’s bargaining team to reach what the telco called "a fair agreement." The deal covers about 12,000 employees in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin and is retroactive to April 12.
