The word is, ongoing negotiations between AT&T and the Communications Workers of America have halted with a result of nothing definite on what to expect, so America could well be facing the largest strike since 1997.
Talks have taken a downturn as AT&T threaten to take an axe to employee healthcare, and the union didn’t like the new contract proposal and is preparing its 90,000 strong workforce for strike action according to a post on mp3newswire
As AT&T have an exclusivity deal with Apple for the Apple iPhone, if this strike happens Apple iPhone services could well be in serious trouble, and if the strike goes on for an extended amount of time many customers could begin to look elsewhere, and simple put, Apple could only sit back and watch as the strike action hampers iPhone sales.
