Ashland Workers Protest AT&T Contract
KENTUCKY....
Sunday, members of the Communication Workers of America employed by AT&T lined the streets of Ashland in protest of the terms of the new contract they've been offered. Union workers say they're concerned about out sourcing and the increased costs of benefits AT&T is asking them to pay, and, as a last resort, they've authorized to strike. The contract effects 11,000 workers in the southeastern United States, about 500 in the Ashland area.
