Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] |
Labor Union Contracts | Labor Union Contracts As of September 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"). Approximately 2% of our union-represented employees were subject to collective bargaining agreements that expired as of September 30, 2019 and are currently being renegotiated. Additionally, approximately 10% of our union-represented employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements that are scheduled to expire over the next 12 months. During third quarter 2019, we reached new agreements with the CWA and IBEW, which represented approximately 73%, of our represented employees. We believe relations with our employees continue to be generally good.
