A new union contract for AT&T workers in 36 states guarantees annual inflation-adjusted raises over the next 3 years. It also: —offers health coverage from a worker's first day —provides call-center workers paid parental leave for the first time
"It's a good year for workers to be bargaining," says Pat Telesco, who helped negotiate a union contract — ratified late last week — for AT&T workers in 36 states that guarantees annual inflation-adjusted raises over the next three years.The tight labor market and rising inflation are putting increased pressure on employers to raise pay, and sparking a return of cost-of-living adjustments in union agreements that largely fell out of favor in recent decades.
in the labor market, companies are still raising pay — or planning to — as the competition for workers is fierce. The contract also provides call-center employees who work from home with a $55 monthly WFH stipend, as well as provisions that limit the company's ability to surveil those workers.
