The Bargaining Committee met with Frontier Communications today to resume negotiations for a new contract. We continue to have significant issues with Frontiers’ use of contract labor and their lack of investing in good Union jobs in Connecticut. Job security, wages and health and welfare benefits remain equally important to us. We are scheduled to meet again tomorrow and Thursday with Frontier.

On Monday January 13th we will be meeting with our Chief Stewards to update them about the negotiations to date. On Thursday evening, January 16th , we will be having a virtual bargaining update meeting for all our Frontier members as we head towards expiration of the contract extension on January 18th. A link to register for this meeting will be sent later this week.

Lastly, it is very important that our Frontier members who have not yet filled out an MRF (Member Relief Fund) form to please do so. In the event of a strike, you must have this form completed to be paid. If you do not complete this form, you will not be paid during a strike. Please click here to complete your MRF form.

Remember, when We fight, We win!
