From CWA United Campus Workers: 17,000 CWA Members on Strike! Join a Picket Line Near You!

17,000 CWA members employed by AT&T Southeast are on strike to protest management's unfair labor practices during negotiations for a new union contract (CWA press release).

There will be pickets at AT&T work locations across the Southeast. To find a picket location, contact the CWA local with AT&T employees closest to you and find out where they need help on the picket lines. In larger cities these pickets will be visible and information will be shared from your state leadership, the AFL-CIO, or even on the news.

Here is a list of local presidents in the cities where UCW has the most members and some emerging specifics on picket locations.

If you get more up-to-date information on pickets in your area, please add that information in the linked document and coordinate with state/chapter UCW leadership to share the information widely with fellow members. Let’s turn up at picket lines to show that higher ed workers across the Southeast stand in solidarity with our CWA siblings in telecommunications!

To be on the picket lines with your union siblings who do critical work to build and maintain our communications infrastructure is a rare and exciting opportunity. Reply here with questions or if you need any help finding information on local pickets.
