IBEW - AT&T DIRECTV Call Center Tentative Agreement Highlights
May 15, 2019

May 14, 2019

On Friday, May 10, 2019 the IBEW System Council T-3 (SCT-3) and AT&T/DIRECTV reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract covering employees working for the company in DIRECTV call centers. The new tentative agreement must be voted on and accepted by the members of the IBEW. 

The IBEW SCT-3 will present the contract to its members over the next few weeks through a series of meetings and other communications.  After reviewing the new contract we feel our members will agree with the officers and delegates of the IBEW SCT-3 and vote to accept the tentative agreement.

The highlights are as follows:
