AT&T Customers Report Wireless Problems

AT&T Customers Report Wireless Problems

An unspecified problem put cell phone towers out of service Saturday evening, leaving some AT&T customers without wireless service.

Most of AT&T's wireless network was believed to be working again early Sunday morning. Late Saturday, AT&T tweeted about the issue and said crews were working to restore service.

"Los Angeles area AT&T customers may have issues with wireless service," the company said in a statement. "We are working now to resolve. We apologize for any inconvenience."

The network appeared to be working at 4 a.m. in downtown LA and West LA. Problems began at about 3 p.m. Saturday and continued into the night.

Vote totals were not released. 

"We're all very grateful to our customers for their support over this eight-month process, and are very grateful that we can continue to serve them,'' United Food and Commercial Workers local spokeswoman Ellen Anreder said after the vote.

Union officials urged their rank-and-file to ratify the contract. It addressed concerns about funding for the employees' health plan, according to union officials.

The supermarkets said after agreeing to the deal that it would allow them to remain competitive.

Ralphs indicated it would initially close all 250 of its stores if there had been a strike; Albertsons said it could shutter up to 100 locations; Vons said its stores would remain open.
