AFT Stands in Solidarity with AT&T Strikers
WASHINGTON— AFT President Randi Weingarten issued
the following statement in support of AT&T workers who have walked off the
job to stand up for a fair contract and a better future:
“The 40,000 AT&T workers on the street
this weekend are American heroes. They’re not only standing up for a fair
contract and good healthcare and against rampant outsourcing, they’re also
fighting for a better future for themselves, their families and workers
nationwide.
“Thousands of AFT members will join
with the Communications Workers of America and the community on picket lines
today and tomorrow to send a clear message to AT&T and other major
employers: It’s time to respect, not exploit and pauperize, the workers who
make your companies strong.”
