Strike results from failed contract negotiations with AT&T corporate.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - AT&T Alascom workers from the Teamsters Union Local 959 have voted to strike once again after failed attempts to bargain a new contract with AT&T’s out-of-state corporate negotiators.The local 959 has filed several unfair labor practice charges against AT&T for what they describe as violations of federal labor law during the bargaining efforts.
Currently, the Alascom network serves numerous radio system facilities, transmitter and repeater sites, the Anchorage-Prudhoe Bay fiber optic cable, services to Alyeska Pipeline, and national security and defense systems in all Alaska’s major cities including Fairbanks. Kurt Foley, a 16-year technician with the Teamsters also stated AT&T Corporate is demanding a monthly increase for family healthcare. “That’s just not sustainable and it’s ridiculous, especially after AT&T paid its CEO $25 million last year and gave him an 18% raise. This strike is a wake-up call to AT&T, which continues to violate our rights and put critical telecom services at risk. Alaska towns and national security systems depend on these services, as do our own families.
