- Contract negotiations between AT&T and workers have been going on since April 2024.
- Wage inflation and benefits are the main reason the two parties can't agree.
- If protests continue, any services that AT&T offer may become impacted including: landline services, high speed internet, and mobile devices.

Jason Orozco, president of Communications Workers of America Local 9408 in Fresno, says workers are “ready and willing” to strike for a fair contract with AT&T.
The employees have been working under an expired contract since April, Orozco said. In addition, he said that AT&T’s offer raises healthcare costs and doesn’t include “a living wage.”
To signal their dissatisfaction with negotiations, Local 9408 members held an informational picket on Friday, June 14, at Peach and Dakota avenues in Clovis.
