CWA Pushing State AGs Not to Join DOJ's AT&T/TW Suit

The Communications Workers of America is urging all states' attorneys general not to sign onto DOJ's lawsuit seeking to block AT&T buying Time Warner (see 1711200064). The union on Saturday tweeted that President Chris Shelton was in the process of reaching out to them. CWA told us Monday it expects to talk with all of them within the next several days. In a letter from the union to the AGs dated Nov. 22, Shelton chalked up the DOJ litigation to political interference from the Trump White House due to the administration's CNN enmity. Justice didn't comment Monday.
