The Communications Workers of America say they’re “working on next steps” following the rejection of a proposed AT&T contract by 17,000 CWA workers in California and Nevada.

Fifty-three percent of the workers voting voted against the tentative proposed labor contract.

Workers at frozen food company Lamb Weston in Twin Falls, Idaho, say the company has hired a union-busting firm to intimidate them out of joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.  Employees reached out to the union with concerns over wages, scheduling and health and safety issues.  An election is scheduled for mid-July.  The company currently employs over 400 workers at the plant, many of them Latino or Russian immigrants.
