Close enough, actually I am a retired telco person, and that was at Alcatel.

Now if only I could find a telco that's hiring.
Someone has to be, with the reputed 3.1% unemployment around here. I count a dozen signs a day for folks hiring.
I don't know if they can help, but here's 'the local CWA office.

Communication Worker's of America Local 6127
3809 S. County Road 1285
Odessa, Texas 79765
432-563-3238

That's SBC /ATT and Cingular I think.

I made a big mistake last week, I received my CHL and being very proud of this event I mentioned it to two folks I work with in a cubicle environment.

Two days later I was pulled into a room with two big guys from corporate security - informing me that I was reported to have a gun license and there was a gun in my car. They didn't check my car (which I didn't have a gun in the car) but basically I had to read the company policy and verbally confirmed that I understand the policy. One of the security guys was really nice, he mentioned he was also a CHLer and he wished every Texan did the CHL program. They mentioned that they had a report and had to respond and I would have this issue recorded in my file.

If anything - learn from my mistake, if you get your CHL - don't mention it to your co-workers.
Did you mention in the United States you have the right to know your accuser? Did you ask if the person "with an obvious agenda to defame you" in the workplace has been investigated for lying?
