AT&T Gets Extension in CWA Complaint Over Fired DirecTV Workers

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel for Western Texas in Austin signed an order Thursday granting AT&T’s unopposed motion for a deadline extension to Nov. 21 to answer the Sept. 19 Communications Workers of America complaint to compel arbitration for DirecTV employees who CWA alleges were “unjustly” terminated during the summer of 2021 (see 2210090002). CWA contends the workers are entitled to a grievance process under an existing collective bargaining agreement.
