AT&T Union Employees Back to Work With Different Button

After staging a walkout on Monday, union employees came to an agreement with management to be able to wear a different sticker on their uniforms that expressed their concerns with contract negotiations

A change of letters on a button lead to AT&T management allowing union employees to come back to work today.

According to an employee, U-Verse union workers of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 9412, came to work this morning sporting a button rather than a sticker on their uniforms that read "CWA: United We Stand" regarding current contract negotiations. 

They were not asked to remove them or sent home. Several employees then staged walkouts in several AT&T yards throughout the Bay Area.

An AT&T spokesperson said the company had orginially felt the "WTF" stickers were inappropriate to wear in customers' homes and businesses.

Employees from the Castro Valley site told Patch that those who were part of the walkout from yesterday did not received any penalties, such as an occurance, on their record.

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
