SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - AT&T workers walked off the job Friday and picketed at AT&T locations throughout San Diego.
The 1,700 AT&T employees on strike include technicians as well as people who answer the phone.
According to the labor union that represents the AT&T employees, the company's willful disregard of the union's request of documentation pertaining the usage reports of AT&T's monitoring practices was the reason for the strike.
Executive Vice President, Tosha Broadnax, stated, "The documents requested are necessary to protect our members from the constant abuse of the monitoring system by management. We have a contractual right to request and receive these reports."
