AT&T Mobility has reached a tentative agreement with the Communications Workers of America on a contract covering more than 11,500 employees in Georgia and other parts of the Southeast.
The plan now must be presented to the union’s membership for a ratification vote in the coming days, said the Atlanta-based company, the nation’s No. 2 wireless carrier.
Details of the new four-year agreement, which would cover wages, pension, work rules and disability benefits, were not provided.
A separate four-year benefit agreement for Mobility workers nationwide represented by the union was ratified in October 2012. That agreement covered health care and certain other benefits.
In addition to Georgia, the new wages and pension contract would cover workers in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
