Hundreds of AT&T workers rallied for higher wages and protested the outsourcing of jobs outside the telecommunications giant's annual shareholders meeting today at Moody Performance Hall in downtown Dallas.
The rally was organized by the Communication Workers of America, which represents more than 150,000 AT&T technicians, customer service and call center representatives and retail store employees. About 14,000 workers across five Midwest states are negotiating their contracts with AT&T.
