CenturyLink Workers Move Closer To A Strike

Union leaders representing CenturyLink workers in 13 states including Arizona and the Yuma area, have moved closer to allowing a strike, but contract talks with the telecommunications company are continuing. 

The Communication Workers of America said Thursday that the executive board authorized the union's president to set a strike date, which would be the final step in going on strike. 

A union spokesman says nothing is imminent and the union still hopes to reach a good contract for 13,000 employees who formerly worked for Qwest Communications.
