:The Communications Workers of America (CWA) have informed AT&T and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service that it would no longer be a part of the mediation, it said in a statement on Monday.

"The company was using the mediation process as another delaying tactic," said CWA District 3 Vice President Richard Honeycutt.

More than 17,000 Workers represented by the CWA union, which include technicians, customer service representatives, and others who install, maintain, and support AT&T's residential and business wireline telecommunications network, remain on strike which began last month.

"Regardless of whether a neutral third-party is present, progress will not be made without a willingness to compromise," an AT&T spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters late on Monday.

The telecom operator also said it will remain prepared for all contingencies to ensure smooth services to its customers.
