Important Announcements
Update: Now that SBC has merged with AT&T and changed their name to at&t, there is a lot of confusion on information posted on this web site. Going forward with the new at&t's terminology, we will now be referring to pre-merger SBC employees as "Legacy-S" and the pre-merger AT&T employees as "Legacy-T"

has thrown final passage of any health care legislation into

overcoming a Republican filibuster.

CWA leadership, locals and our members have led the opposition to the excise tax. From the start, CWA leaders made it clear that a tax on workers’ health care was the wrong way to finance health care reform. We fought against this plan in the Senate and supported our friends in the House of Representatives who outlined better ways to finance health care reform. We supported Connecticut House Representative Joe Courtney in obtaining 190 signatures on a letter opposing the excise tax.

Current Pre Medicare, Post 1993 Retirees: will really have the choice of three options; not two. While the Chart (see the link titled "Plan Designs for Eligible Retired Employees"at the top of our home page) given out at the Presidents Explanation Meeting is not necessarily wrong; it leads you to believe that "only" the PPO/Non PPO is offered as the current regional medical plan and that IS NOT TRUE.
