released a statement Friday to explain the reasons behind the filing of the unfair labor practice charge.In that statement, CWA accuses AT&T of “not bargaining in good faith, engaging in surface bargaining, and not sending representatives to the bargaining table with the authority to make decisions.
“The goal of today is to bring awareness to the company that the members are serious,” Rivers said. “We want a fair contract.” We’re disappointed that union leaders would call for a strike at this point in the negotiations, rather than directing their energies toward constructive discussions at the bargaining table.
