AT&T reportedly plans to cut more than 3,400 technician and clerical jobs across the country and close stores over the next few weeks as the coronavirus pandemic shutdown has prompted consumers to shop online.
The wireless carrier also plans to permanently close more than 250 stores, which would affect about 1,300 retail jobs, Reuters reported, citing the company’s main labor union, the Communications Workers of America.
“With more customers shopping online, we are closing some retail stores to reflect our customers’ shopping practices,” AT&T said in a statement.
