While workers at Verizon and Verizon Wireless have been fighting for dignity and respect since last summer, workers at AT&T are facing attacks of their own. In the last month, the company has targeted over 740 union workers, primarily in the southern region of the country, to lay-off despite reporting record profits this quarter. In 2011, their revenues soared to $126.7 billion, and the CEO—Randall Stephenson made over $27 million in 2011.

These multinational communications giants cannot be allowed to continue undermining workers’ standards of living.

Inspired by the efforts Verizon workers last summer, Atlanta Jobs with Justice and Occupy Atlanta are joining the Communications Workers of America Local 3204, and others throughout the community to demand AT&T rescind all lay-offs. Having gotten no response on their initial letter, they have entered the AT&T Atlanta headquarters and are refusing to leave until every single job cut is rescinded. Simultaneously, an occupation with tents is being set up outside of the building.
