AT&T is unionized with CWA and IBEW. Both unions will endorse the Democrat in the general election. Now Bush's Texas corporations - SBC, which owns Cingular, are going to buy out AT&T, fire all the union employees, offshore as many jobs as they can, pay undocumented immigrants less than minimum wage, and generally go on an anti-union, anti-worker spree.
The AFL-CIO is endorsing Kerry - as the front runner he needs to take a strong stand against this, in public, on TV.

"One of the most important aspects of the announcement last week that Cingular would buy AT&T Wireless went almost unnoticed-namely, that Cingular's parent companies, BellSouth and SBC, would virtually exhaust their cash reserves on the deal."
