Strike Ends at AT&T Southeast

WASHINGTON, September 16, 2024 – Communications Workers of America members are back on the job at AT&T Southeast Monday, ending a 30-day strike involving 17,000 workers.

The union reached separate tentative agreements Sunday with AT&T Southeast and with AT&T West, where another 8,500 workers were nearing a strike of their own. Members are set to vote on the proposed contracts in the coming weeks.

“I believe in the power of unity, and the unity our members and retirees have shown during these contract negotiations has been outstanding and gave our bargaining teams the backing they needed to deliver strong contracts,” CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. said in a statement.
