AT&T Mobility said its wireless employees in its Southeast Region (CWA District 3) have voted to ratify a four-year agreement with the Communications Workers of America. The agreement covers about 11,200 CWA members in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
AT&T has the largest number of CWA employees in the wireless sector as Verizon Wireless employees are not unionized. Midwest CWA employees reached a three-year agreement with AT&T last August. These latest agreements have been much less contentious than previous pacts. In early 2009, the CWA voted to strike after failing to reach agreements with AT&T Mobility.
