By Naomi Jagoda

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board against AT&T and Nexstar Media Group after the companies failed to provide information sought by the union about how the businesses planned to use their savings from the corporate tax cuts in the Republican tax law.

"Like so many companies, AT&T promised that it would use savings from the tax bill to create good, family-supporting U.S. jobs," Lisa Bolton, vice president of CWA Telecommunications and Technologies, said in a news release Wednesday. "We're using our power at the bargaining table to make sure they keep that promise. AT&T shouldn't be laying off workers and sending the work to low-wage contractors when they are pulling in billions in profits from the tax bill."
