ATLANTA -- Union workers with AT&T hit the picket line in downtown Atlanta, Saturday, demanding a new labor contract.

The "Communication Workers of America" descended on the AT&T headquarters on West Peachtree Street.

Their labor contract expired a week ago and despite a week of negotiations there has been no movement for a new contract.

"They're moving too slow; it's time to speed it up," one protester said over a megaphone. "It's time to give us the contract that we deserve. Not the contract that you want to give us."

The contract impacts 25,000 workers across the Southeast.
