The longest strike in AT&T Southeast history came to an end with a tentative agreement meant to extend union contracts another five years. The telecommunications company extended two tentative agreements – one with AT&T West and the other with AT&T Southeast.

The CWA’s latest moves highlight the bankruptcy of the union apparatus which is desperate to shut down the strike by presenting a rotten contract that it can force down worker’s throats and pass off as a great victory.

AT&T workers with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) in the Southeast returned to work Monday after a 30-day strike. Approximately 800 AT&T technicians, customer service representatives and other workers in South Carolina were on strike for the past month.

Thousands of AT&T workers across South Carolina and seven other Southeastern states are back on the job after resolving a strike that dragged on for 30 days.

AT&T technician and Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 3905 member George Petticrew has been waiving a “Fighting for the Middle Class” sign on Mastin Lake Road in Huntsville for over three weeks.
