Republished from WEKU. Hundreds of Kentucky AT&T workers are on strike amid stalled negotiations over their next contract. The Communications Workers of America union, or CWA, alleges AT&T engaged in unfair labor practices during the negotiations, forcing them to strike. The strike began August 16 and extends over nine states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The union says over 17,000 technicians, customer service representatives and others who install, maintain and support AT&T’s network are picketing the company’s corporate offices. Some Kentucky union members say they believe the strike has led to longer waits to correct service disruptions and to connect new customers. The CWA alleges the company has not been participating in good-faith negotiations, sending people to the table that do not have the authority to agree to contracts. “AT&T workers across the country have made it clear that they are not willing to settle for a subpar contract or bad faith negotiations,” said CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. “I will be doing everything I can to ensure that AT&T puts proposals on the table with the wages and healthcare benefits that our members deserve.” At the state’s largest CWA chapter in Louisville, several picket lines are going at once. At the busy intersection of Hikes Lane and Bardstown Road on Tuesday, about a dozen picketers carried signs walking back and forth in front of one of AT&T’s corporate offices. Some of the cars driving by honked in support of the picketers, to whoops from the union workers. One worker said it felt like they’d been out there striking for months, not weeks. The strike will reach four weeks on Friday — many workers on the picket line said they hope to go back to work before then. Sylvia Goodman / KPR... Continue Reading
