AT&T workers on strike

AT&T workers in Butler Township participated Friday in the first day of a nationwide three-day strike.

BUTLER TWP - The seven striking AT&T workers at Butler Commons began a three-day work stoppage Friday. They were a few of about 40,000 AT&T employees who went on a strike over contract issues with the company, according to The Associated Press.

Jordan Gibson, 25, was one of the local workers on strike and said they gave management until 3 p.m. Friday to offer a contract the Communications Workers of America finds acceptable.

“We want (management) to come to the table on Monday and bargain for a fair contract,” Gibson said.

He added that the strike will end when they return to work at 8:30 a.m. Monday. Until then, management will run the store.
