Labor Union Contracts

As of June 30, 2019, CenturyLink, Inc. had approximately 43,000 employees. Approximately, 26% of our employees are represented by the Communication Workers of America ("CWA") or the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ("IBEW"). We believe relations with our employees continue to be generally good. Approximately 3% of our union-represented employees were subject to collective bargaining agreements that expired on June 30, 2019 and are currently being renegotiated. Additionally, approximately 80% of our union-represented employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements that are scheduled to expire over the next 12 months.
