Qwest preps for walkout – Managers warned they may have to assume jobs if pact not reached

Qwest has told its managers they may have to take on the jobs of union employees if contract negotiations break down this summer and workers strike.

The Denver-based telecommunications company informed its 16,000 managers in an e-mail Thursday that they won’t be allowed time off in the last half of August if a contract agreement has not been reached.

The contract with the Communications Workers of America District 7, which has about 25,000 members employed by Qwest, expires at midnight Aug. 13. Talks are scheduled to begin June 22.
