AT&T Workers Authorize Strike

In a move directly affecting approximately 8,000 workers in California and Nevada, CWA members at AT&T West in District 9 have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, if necessary. The AT&T West contract expired on April 6. The vote results showed over 92 percent in favor.

This vote comes after months of very slow negotiations, with AT&T seeking to undermine significant wage and benefit gains from past contracts. The CWA bargaining team has provided consistent updates for members at the CWA District 9 website.

 
Members of CWA Local 9408 joined thousands of others across the country to show support for the CWA District 9 bargaining team currently in negotiations with AT&T West.
