SBC Union Extends Negotations, Cancels Midnight Strike

LOS ANGELES - MAY 7: A sign held by SBC telephone employees and members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union picket in front of an SBC facility on May 7, 2004 in the Los Angeles area community of Van Nuys, California. A nationwide contract extension expired and last minute negotiations averted a strike against the nation's second largest telephone company. A labor strike could have involved more than 100,000 workers in 13 states from Connecticut to California. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
