The much sought after, long delayed, highly anticipated 2022-2027 AT&T Core Contract is now finally available! As many of you know and have been closely following the progress, this was no easy task for your IBEW representatives. What should have been a normally tedious but relatively straightforward process turned into a headache. The contract, which is over 490 pages long, was proofread by AT&T management and the staff of IBEW Local 21 who found and corrected errors, misspellings, misplaced punctuation, company name changes, and other items that needed attention since the 2013 contract was initially drafted.
We appreciate the time and patience of all of our members who had to endure the delays of obtaining a final copy of this agreement.
We are deeply saddened and mourn the loss of our Friend and Brother Tom Moran, retired International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 21 Chief Steward.
Tom was a very caring person and friend to many. Brother Moran was a great unionist who began his career working at Illinois Bell. Tom’s dedication, sense of humor and good spirit will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

John Oliver Talks Unions
John Oliver talks about unions and corporate America's tactics to sack them
by hiring union busting attorneys. For workers who are already in a union these
same scumbags teach managers how to destroy the labor relations process.
At the end of the day it is union member’s solidarity that beats them back.
President Biden on the Importance of Unions
President Biden talks about the importance of unions and how they build the middle class.
He supports the right of collective bargaining and the right to join a union.
