Local leaders representing the six major bargaining units at AT&T met in St. Louis in preparation for bargaining that gets underway Feb. 24.  Discussions focused on evolving technology in the industry and how that affects jobs, training and education for workers. The 50 participants also joined in a presentation and discussion on health care. 

Information was also shared on a plan to coordinate efforts for bargaining among the six tables. This was the first joint meeting of the major units.
