Seventeen thousand AT&T workers in the Southeast returned to work September 16 following a month-long strike.

Members of the Communications Workers (CWA) in nine states from Kentucky to Florida walked out on an unfair labor practice strike August 16 over accusations the telecom giant was bargaining in bad faith.

The strike included technicians, call center workers, and others who build and maintain the AT&T network.

AT&T pulled in $24 billion in profits in 2023. CWA represents over 150,000 AT&T workers in the U.S., scattered across more than a dozen collective bargaining agreements.

As we went to print, workers were to vote on whether to ratify the five-year agreement.
