The 2019 AT&T strike was a labor strike involving about 20,000 employees of AT&T in the Southern United States. Members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) went on strike from August 24 to August 28, following the failure to agree to new employment contracts. Following several days of protest across nine states, the strike ended with a tentative deal reached between CWA and AT&T.

Background

On August 3, 2019, employment contracts between 20,000 members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and AT&T Southeast were set to expire. These workers primarily consisted of customer service representatives and technicians from AT&T's wired phone and Internet division.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Leading up to this, discussions between the two parties regarding future contract agreements were proving to be unfruitful, and leading up to the expirations the CWA began to prepare for the possibility of a labor strike.Шаблон:Sfn The previous month, members of the CWA voted to authorize a strike if an agreement regarding contracts could not be made.Шаблон:Sfn On August 3, hundreds of telecommunications workers held a rally outside AT&T Midtown Center (AT&T Southeast's headquarters) in Atlanta.Шаблон:Sfn On August 10, the workers began to work without a contract.Шаблон:Sfn A meeting on August 20 between AT&T and union officials again proved fruitless, with the union alleging that proposals by the company would have reduced paid sick time, among other unwanted effects.Шаблон:Sfn

Course of the strike

On August 23, the CWA announced a strike that would begin at midnight.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn They also filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that AT&T was not bargaining "in good faith" and that they had failed to send proper representatives to contract discussions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A day prior on August 21, CWA locals 3120, 3121 and 3122 went on a Unfair labor practice protest in South Florida and walked out over issues associated with violations of the National Labor Relations Act.
