CWA claimed that the company has used this process to stall negotiations.

"The company was using the mediation process as another delaying tactic," said CWA District 3 Vice President Richard Honeycutt in a formal statement.

More than 17,000 workers represented by the CWA union, including technicians, customer service representatives, and others who install, maintain, and support AT&T's residential and business wireline telecommunications network, remain on strike, which began last month.s
