MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Unionized AT&T workers in South Florida were on strike Monday, joining tens of thousands across multiple states in the Southeast.
Sky 10 was over the strike at the AT&T building off Southwest 56th Street in the Kendale Lakes area of southwest Miami-Dade Monday morning.
Communications Workers of America workers are protesting what they call “unfair labor practices” by management, stemming from ongoing negotiations for a new union contract.
In a statement over the weekend, AT&T denied that the company was breaking any labor laws and expressed a desire to negotiate a new contract.
The company said, “We have been engaged in substantive bargaining since day one and are eager to reach an agreement that benefits our hard-working employees.”
