Union and Northwestern Bell prepare for potential strike
CWA District seven leader Ed Follis warns of a walkout if no contract agreement is reached with Northwestern Bell and other Bell companies. Three year deal expires August six with a midnight strike. Negotiations consider wage boosts near Auto Workers levels while preserving job security and elder employee pension options. Strike fund exceeds eight million dollars to cushion a potential stoppage affecting about five thousand workers.
