AT&T Midwest and Legacy workers represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union will continue to work despite the fact their contracts expired on Saturday.
AT&T Midwest’s agreement expired at 11:59 pm CT on Saturday, while the AT&T Legacy T contract expired at 11:59 ET on Saturday.

The AT&T Midwest contract covers workers in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, while the Legacy T contract covers workers nationwide.
CWA again called for AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson to make good on the promises he made to his employees when the U.S. was considering corporate tax reform.
Hinton added that CWA members “are ready to do whatever it takes to get a fair contract with AT&T Midwest, including going on strike if we aren't able to make progress at the bargaining table.”
Just last week, CWA members voted to authorize a strike if the two sides can’t reach an agreement when the contract expires.
For its part, AT&T recently told FierceTelecom that it continues to “bargain with the union and we’re confident that an agreement will be reached.”
