Former BellSouth employee Lyn De Loach (left), now the president of the local chapter of Communication Workers of America, leads protesting employees in a group prayer outside the BellSouth building on Bay Street. About 50 employees spent their lunch hour beating drums, carrying signs and blowing whistles in an attempt to influence ongoing labor negotiations. The union wants assurances that BellSouth will limit outsourcing and guarantee medical benefits to employees and retirees.
