Union forces AT&T West workers to continue working after contract expiration

By Steve Filips

27 April 2016

Sixteen thousand workers at AT&T have been ordered by their union, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), to continue working following the expiration of their contract April 9. The workers are in the AT&T West division, formerly Pacific Bell, which covers AT&T landline operations in California and Nevada.

Two hundred other communications workers in Connecticut also have been ordered to continue working after their contract expired.

The CWA is working systematically to isolate different sections of telecommunications workers and prevent a unified struggle. There are currently 39,000 Verizon workers on strike in the US Northeast, and the union is determined to prevent their fight from sparking a broader rebellion of telecommunications workers and other sections of the working class.

The CWA and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) fear that a united struggle against the multinational giants would quickly get out of their control and develop into a political confrontation with the Democratic Party.

Ignoring a 95 percent strike authorization vote of the AT&T West workers, CWA’s District 9 Vice President Tom Runnion said, “We’re going to continue fighting for a fair contract while we stay on the job.” In 2013 workers rejected the last contract before having it forced upon them by the CWA. Since then, AT&T has cut over 2,000 jobs in the West division.
