Dozens of union-represented technicians picketed AT&T's service facility in Santa Rosa on Thursday after the company sent some of them home for wearing pro-union stickers.
Similar informational picketing took place at AT&T centers in Napa and other Bay Area communities as the Communications Workers of America seeks a new contract with the giant telecommunications provider.
The Santa Rosa pickets accused the company of an unfair labor practice for banning the union stickers, which read "Keep AT&T off the healthcare low road."
The union has said the company wants to outsource union jobs and cut health care and retirement benefits.
