At&t announced a surplus in IBEW 21.  

The announcement raised questions among employees regarding
next steps and the potential impact on their roles.

In an effort to address workforce imbalances and navigate
the challenges posed by shifting operational demands, the Company has engaged
in discussions with the Union to find mutually agreeable solutions. These
measures are designed not only to mitigate potential disruptions but also to
ensure fairness and clarity for affected employees.

2Q2025 IBEW Enhanced SIPP Talking Points

The Company has notified the Union of a force surplus in specific titles
in specific business units:

 Customer Systems Technician
 Cable Splicing Technician
     ("Splicer")
 Telecommunication Specialist

Mitigation Efforts

To address these surplus conditions, the Parties have agreed to allow the
Company to extend conditional enhanced general Supplemental Income Protection
Program (ESIPP) offers to certain Eligible Employees.

Enhanced Payment Details

Eligible Employees approved for ESIPP will receive the standard SIPP
payment outlined in Article 30.24, with an additional $50,000 enhancement.

Application & Approval Process

 Deadline: ESIPP Candidates must submit the
     ESIPP Acknowledgement Form by June 12, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST (11:00 am
     CST).
 Approval Criteria: Candidates will be approved
     based on targeted surplus conditions.

Surplus Resolution

 The Company and the Union will
     meet through multiple steps of matching interested ESIPP candidates with
     employees in surplus titles and locations.
 If a surplus remains after ESIPP
     approvals, employees in the same job title/location/business unit will
     have the option to preference a transfer to locations vacated by ESIPP
     Candidates.
 If surplus still exists,
     involuntary matching of qualified surplus employees to ESIPP Candidate
     locations may occur. Employees in surplus areas are strongly encouraged to
     submit preference requests for locations/positions they find desirable.
 The Company and the Union have
     agreed to continue discussions throughout the process. Additional
     information will be provided as it is available.

Employee Resources & Next Steps

 Eligible Employees should receive
     an email from HR Web Admin with a link to the Surplus Transition Portal
     (STP) to access the ESIPP Acknowledgement Form.
 If an Eligible Employee has not
     received the form, they must contact their supervisor immediately to
     obtain and submit the form before the deadline.
 Approved ESIPP employees will
     have an off-payroll date of June 27, 2025, but no later than July 11,
     2025.
 For any general questions,
     employees should reach out to their manager.

For additional inquiries, employees should contact their appropriate
Business Rep or Chief Steward.
