SBC strike enters third month with six bargaining proposals
SBC spokeman Mike Marker says three months of talks and six proposals have occurred while CWA represents over 100,000 workers in 18 states. Dozens picketed in San Antonio as the walkout began. SBC offers a five year deal with 2.25 percent raises and a 4 percent lump sum but seeks higher medical co pays. Union seeks jobs growth in Internet and call centers amid revenue declines. Experts question impact on consumers and effectiveness of the strike.
