If you are an AT&T employee who is considering retiring by the end of the year because you have concerns regarding how the current rise in inflation is impacting next year's corporate bond rate, it is imperative that you begin the process sooner rather than waiting until the last minute.
As is typical with the holiday season, many managers will be on vacation and not available. Also, Fidelity may need additional time to process your pension calculation if you have any special circumstances that may require a manual calculation.
The sooner you start the process, the more time you will have to resolve any issues or errors that may arise. So again, if you are planning to retire this year, take action now.
The Bears have a bye week and if you are one of those Packer Backers, you have another week to gloat about last week’s win over a team that is rebuilding. Since you will have extra time this weekend, it is the perfect opportunity to donate to the IBEW 21 Toy, Coat, Blanket and Toiletries Drive.

Unit 1 Meeting Moved to Hillside. Prior to all of the November 2022 Union meetings, representatives from IBEW 21 staff will be available 45 minutes prior to the start of the meetings to discuss and answer questions from AT&T members who are considering retiring in December 2022. Don’t forget to vote Union Yes on the Workers’ Rights Amendment. The Amendment will protect your rights as Union members in the Private sector as well as the Public sector. Contrary to lies being spread by corporate billionaires, it will not raise your taxes.

They will not be there to give financial advice, they will be there to assist members who may have questions about the process of retiring before the end of the year. Several members have asked for the Union to hold these informal discussions to help clarify the process and to eliminate the confusion caused by some of the financial firms hosting retirement seminars over the past several months.
