Talks will resume Thursday between the Communications Workers of America and Qwest Communications. The workers rejected the most recent contract offer in September and have given the negotiating committee the authority to call a strike if a new contract reflecting employee interests can not be reached. The workers are currently working under the previous contract which has been extended until Friday. The CWA represents 20,000 Qwest workers in 13 states.
