The Communications Workers of America union, which represents the 21,000 wireless workers who walked out in 36 states and Washington, D.C., said the labor action forced AT&T to close hundreds of stores from Alaska to Michigan to Rhode Island. The wireless employees have been working without a contract since February. http://fortune.com/2017/05/22/att-strikers-return-to-work/ -- Bill Horne ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 25 May 2017
