>>>Qwest says they have a contingency plan in place where managers will step in to do work should there be a strike

Maybe the problem is Qwest has enough managers to do the work the striking technicians would do.

They don't. As it is the regular employees can barely keep up with the workload.

Someplaces maybe. The overtime during monsoon season and other times of the year is unlimited for field crews. The work force has shrunk during the past since Qwest took over. There is less work but a lot fewer people to do it. So there is still a balance.
Plus contractors are still allowed for certain work. So the company can do new construction or rehab like things without being forced to increase the union workforce. Which is ok because these type of things are not designed to be permanent jobs.
