MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today In Labor History April 7, 1947: The National Federation of Telephone Workers (NFTW) launched the first nationwide strike against AT&amp;T and Bell. 350,000 telephone workers, mostly women switchboard operators, walked off the job. Both the AFL and the CIO supported the strike, hoping to bring the telephone workers into their fold. This support provided extra strike funds to help the workers survive their time off the job. By mid-May, 37 of the 39 member unions had won new contracts with raises. NFTW became the Communications Workers of America later that year. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bell</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>women</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunicationWorkersOfAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunicationWorkersOfAmerica</span></a></p>

:nfld_tri: 🇨🇦 CowMan 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇲🇽<p>Recently, Bell FibreOp (Fibe) stopped responding to unicast DHCP renewals.

Bell has decided to cap mobile speeds at 256Kbps for their “unlimited” plans once the monthly allocation is reached. The previous limit was 512Kbps.

Edit: It seems to have been written in error.

Bell a décidé de limiter les débits mobiles à 256Kb/s sur leurs plans « illimités » une fois l’allocation mensuelle atteinte. La limite précédente était de 512Kb/s.

MàJ : Il semblerait que ce l’écrit en erreur.
