More than 17,000 members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) have gone on strike against AT&T Southeast.
The strike follows allegations of unfair labor practices by management during contract negotiations. The CWA represents workers across nine states in the Southeast region.
Union members accuse AT&T Southeast of bargaining in bad faith. They claim the company is not addressing critical issues, including job security, fair wages, and healthcare benefits. The union’s concerns have intensified after months of unsuccessful negotiations.
The strike has impacted various sectors within AT&T Southeast, including technicians, customer service representatives, and line workers. These employees are essential to maintaining the company’s infrastructure and customer service. With workers on strike, disruptions in service and project delays are expected across the region.
CWA leaders have called on AT&T Southeast to return to the negotiation table with fair and reasonable proposals. The union is demanding that the company respect workers’ rights and adhere to labor laws. They have also urged public support for their cause, emphasizing that the strike is a fight for fair treatment.
As the strike continues, the CWA is mobilizing additional support from local communities and labor organizations. The union remains firm in its stance, stating that the strike will persist until AT&T Southeast addresses their concerns.
The CWA Strike Against AT&T Southeast underscores the growing tensions between workers and management in the telecommunications industry.
