AT&T Workers in California and Nevada Threaten Strike

AT&T, which is already dealing with a strike by Communications Workers of America members in the Southeast, now faces a CWA walk out in the West (see 2409050049). “Our members had a chance to review and vote on the AT&T West tentative agreement, and the majority determined that it did not meet their needs,” CWA District 9 Vice President Frank Arce said Friday: “We will use all the tools at our disposal to win a fair contract, including a strike if it becomes necessary.” The AT&T West agreement covers some 8,000 workers in California and Nevada whose contract expired April 6, a CWA spokesperson emailed Monday.
