AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Communications Workers of America in core wireline contract negotiations for employees covered under the CWA Communications and Technologies contract. The agreement is the fourth with a bargaining unit representing the company’s core wireline employees.

They include AT&T East (CWA District 1) and Southwest (CWA District 6). Negotiations are also continuing in Southeast (CWA District 3), where contracts expired Aug. 8.
