Security at issue in AT&T strike
The nationwide AT&T strike centers on job security and control of new technology as automation grows. Unions seek retraining, early-cr retirement incentives, and a jointly run training program, while AT&T pushes for flexibility and existing retraining options. The shift to machines has reduced operators from 200,000 in 1972 to 128,000 in 1980, intensifying work and raising concerns over conditions and life quality.
