DENVER—The largest union at Qwest Communications International Inc. says it plans to resume contract talks with the company on Thursday.
The Communications Workers of America says a contract covering roughly 20,000 Qwest workers in 13 states has been extended until the end of the day Friday.
Union members last month rejected a tentative three-year agreement with Denver-based Qwest after the previous contract expired Aug. 16.
CWA represents Qwest workers in Colorado, Arizona, Iowa, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Union members have authorized leaders to call a strike, but they have kept working.
