Communication Workers of America Local 3111 was originally chartered on February 1, 1968. At that time, it represented employees of Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company that worked in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce and Stuart, Florida. As Florida grew so did Local 3111. The Local now represents at&t and at&t mobility employees and covers all towns or cities in the following counties: Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin.

Need to check email about W4 tax form
There are approximately 221 Southeast employees that will receive an email today from payroll regarding the W4 form. Records indicate that the employees previously claimed exemption from the Federal withholding and will need a new Form W-4 for 2023. Attached is the communication that will be sent to the employees. A copy of the letter will be mailed to employees on a Leave of Absence or Disability. The employees will have until August 11, 2023 to submit a new form.
RETIREES PLEASE
This month, AT&T transitioned the annuity payments of 96,000 retirees and beneficiaries from the AT&T Pension Plan to a life insurance company called Athene.
We have serious concerns about transactions like this. Annuity benefits transferred to life insurance companies lose protection under the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and are instead covered by the various state insurance guaranty associations, whose protection levels can vary.
In addition, we have specific concerns about the business practices of Athene, which is owned by a private equity firm called Apollo Global Management.
We have created this online survey in order to better ascertain the impact of this transaction among our retirees and to identify and connect with affected retirees.
