Strike Threat Seen With Limited Local Impact
The threatened nationwide Communications Workers of America strike on Monday would likely have little effect on local telephone service. Southwestern Bell and CWA officials say no local staff would be striking unless picket lines are honored, which could delay about 100 workers. Long distance service could suffer if equipment breaks down, but local dial systems should remain mostly operational. The CWA has been without a contract since Aug. 26, with possible settlement before the strike deadline.
