Over the past several months there have been many staffing level adjustments initiated by AT&T as well as the announcement of a welcomed infrastructure build. This is resulting in the need for human resources to fill open positions with candidates internally and externally.

Sister Valerie Taylor-Davis. She was a Union Steward who worked at AT&T. Our thoughts and prayers are with Valerie’s family, friends, co-workers and our members.

As we end 2020 we must remind all members especially those working at AT&T to question the sources of articles written about the employers represented by IBEW Local 21. We often get calls and emails from employees and retirees of AT&T regarding online articles concerning the direction the company “is taking” on a variety of topics. If the misinformation cited in the most recent online rag referenced above is causing you unwanted aggravation, questions and concerns regarding your benefits eligibility and/or landmark dates related to eligibility for certain retirement benefits, please contact your Area/Chief steward or Business representative.
IBEW Local Union 21 Leadership is doing all they can to keep our members safe. The Work from Home Agreements for IBEW members working at AT&T have been extended through June 30, 2021. This extension applies to all IBEW members working under all IBEW – AT&T Contracts who have been identified as employees who are eligible perform their job duties from home.
We remind all members to continue to work safe and to take all necessary precautions to limit the spread of Covid-19.
Recently, IBEW 21 officers and staff have been fielding inquiries from our members working for AT&T regarding what appears to be an unemployment fraud scheme. After receiving a number of calls, our Local’s officers and staff opened an investigation and found that the scheme appears to be affecting both our members as well as several managers. When we learned of these problems senior management at AT&T was contacted. The Company is currently unware of any potential security breaches. We’ve been told AT&T is now investigating the situation and we stand ready to assist them in every way possible.
IBEW Local Union 21 mourns the loss of our Brother, Stephen Carlstead who worked at AT&T in Urbana. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stephen’s family, friends, and our members. Service

IBEW Local Union 21 mourns the loss of our Brother Scott Kurinec who recently retired from AT&T. Scott was an IBEW Local 21 Union Steward and friend to many. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Scott's family and friends
Given the current circumstances with the pandemic, Scott’s family hopes to plan a proper memorial this spring. They wouldn’t be able to host a proper memorial service representative of their “life of the party” Dad. He just had too many friends!
