The 1983 AT&T strike was a strike of 675,000 telephone workers in the US after contract negotiations broke down with AT&T.[1]
The strike began on August 7, 1983, and ended on August 28. It ended after AT&T pulled back on its attempt at restructuring medical payments, agreed to certain worker shift conditions and to an initial 5.5% wage increase the first year, and a 1.5% increase for the following two years of the new contract.[2][1][3][4]
