After 22 days on strike and nearly a year at the bargaining table, CWA members in WV and VA have voted to ratify a new union contract with Frontier Communications. “This is a major achievement, and it shows what working people can do when they join together to stand up for themselves and their communities,” reported CWA District 2-13. Just as Frontier workers are celebrating their victory, other CWA members are pledging to “turn it up” as they bargain for a new contract with AT&T Legacy. Despite an overwhelming vote (4/12 UC) authorizing a strike after their old contract expired, the bargaining team is facing management proposals they feel have “no gains” for members. “This is an insult to our Brothers and Sisters and we are committed to bargain for fair and just treatment for our members,” the bargaining committee declared. “We will be back at the table tomorrow!” photo of SEIU and NoVA Labor members at a Frontier strike picket; courtesy NoVA Labor  Comments are closed.
