MIAMI – AT&T presented a final offer to Communication Workers of America members to end the 22-day-old strike.
Morris is an AT&T customer on Sunny Isles Beach. The local CWA president says about 1,400 AT&T technicians are on strike, almost all in South Florida.
“If all the technicians are on strike, what should I do? I don’t know,” Morris said.
AT&T has said they have continuity measures in place to avoid disruptions in service during the strike. CBS News Miami asked AT&T for specifics, but didn’t get any.
“Not good enough. Not good enough. What is it? Who should we call? What should we do?” Morris said.
We’re in week three of the holdout between 17,000 AT&T employees across the southeast as they negotiate a new contract. AT&T released what they’re calling a final offer.
“We’ve made a strong final offer to our CWA members in the southeast,” said AT&T SVP of Engineering and Operations Corey Anthony.
AT&T did not respond to our questions but sent out this pre-recorded video about the offer.
