Telephone strike looms as workers threaten AT&T walkout
New York Telephone officials say service won’t abruptly halt if a strike starts Saturday night. Howard Williams notes some initial hiccups for operator assisted calls, with supervisors replacing workers and possible help from other towns. Unions representing over 2,000 Syracuse area staff foresee limited disruption, as phones likely won’t go dead though service may dip. Negotiations run parallel to a broader AT&T bargaining effort amid job security pensions and seniority debates ahead of the AT&T breakup.
