AT&T had waged a court battle over the scope of the bargaining unit. However, according to this decision, the petitioned-for unit of AT&T Mobility IHX employees may now proceed to an election. While the employees' fight is not yet over, this decision is a major step forward for them and for CWA. https://cwa-union.org/news/organizing-update-114 ------------------------------ Message-ID: <EC26A121-57FC-4580-A6DD-2A8BDAEDBFA6@roscom.com> Date: 7 Feb 2021 02:03:45 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: How the United States Lost to Hackers How the United States Lost to Hackers America's biggest vulnerability in cyber-warfare is hubris. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/06/technology/cyber-hackers-usa.html ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Wed, 10 Feb 2021
