Rebecca Rosman at NPR reports more than 17,000 Communications Workers of America (CWA)-represented AT&T Workers across the Southeast are on Strike after accusing company management of Unfair Labor Practices (ULPs) during recent contract negotiations.  A statement released by the CWA said AT&T did not bargain in good faith and sent negotiators who didn’t have any authority to make decisions.  “Our Union entered into negotiations in a good faith effort to reach a fair contract, but we have been met at the table by company representatives who were unable to explain their own bargaining proposals and did not seem to have the actual bargaining authority required by the legal obligation to bargain in good faith,” said CWA District 3 Vice President Richard Honeycutt.
