The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has informed AT&T and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service that it would no longer be a part of mediation with the telecommunications company. The union argues that AT&T has used the process to stall negotiations. “The company was using the mediation process as another delaying tactic,” claimed CWA District 3 Vice President Richard Honeycutt. More than 17,000 workers who are represented by the union, including technicians, customer service representatives, and others who install, maintain, and support AT&T’s residential and business wireline telecommunications network, remain on strike which began last month.
