Qwest reaches tentative agreement with union

advertisement

Qwest Communications International Inc. says it has reached a tentative agreement for a four-year contract with a union representing about 20,000 employees.

The company made the announcement early Saturday. Members of the Communications Workers of America last month rejected a tentative three-year agreement with Denver-based Qwest, after the previous contract expired Aug. 16.

Results of a ratification vote on the new agreement by union members are expected by Oct. 31.

The new deal calls for a 12.5 percent raise over the course of the contract and a pension increase of 3 percent for those who are eligible and retire from the company after Oct. 12.

The CWA represents Qwest workers in 13 states.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
