The votes have been counted on the ratification of the tentative agreement between CWA and AT&T Internet Services. It was voted down overwhelmingly.

CWA’s ATT Internet bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with AT&T Internet Services covering 5,000 workers in Districts 3, 4, 6 and 9. The agreement, reached July 21, improves pay and benefits, strengthens the grievance and arbitration process, and provides Internet workers with the same transfer and bidding rights as other AT&T workers have.

Approximately two weeks ago the US Treasury Department notified US Corporations (including ATT) that it was their intention to eliminate the Payroll Savings Bond plan(s) as they exist today (through National Bond Trust).
