Trust me the lawsuit was just a ruse to appease the members. AT&T and CWA are joined at the hip on about everything.

From article:
The CWA lawsuit claimed that AT&T planned to lay off over 700 of its technicians to cut costs while continuing to commission subcontractors for the same work.
The new agreement aims to protect the jobs of 29,000 landline technicians until 2023. The company has also agreed to hire 6,000 customer service employees by 2024.

This was not a lawsuit. Its called litigation because the agreement had legal language. The union never wins lawsuits, dont be fooled.

No one needs MLK off, AT&T already gives more vacation to long term employees than any other company in the industry.

Does anyone actually know what the lawsuit was about? The company violating headcount watermarks agreed to in the CBA?

Are they going to try and make us use one of our four floating holidays on MLK or will it actually be a real holiday?

What took so long? Stankey is trying to be all equal opportunity, surprised it took a lawsuit to get this done.
