Local 1298 Supports District 2-13 Frontier Workers on Strike

Our Union Brothers & Sisters in CWA District 2-13 in West Virginia and Virginia are on STRIKE against Frontier Communications.  Below is an excerpt from the press release.   Frontier Communications Workers in West Virginia and Virginia on Strike to Save Good Jobs and Protect Service Quality Sunday, March 4, 2018   Charleston, W.Va.—After ten months of negotiations, members of the Communications Workers of America have not been able to reach agreement on a fair contract with Frontier Communications. As a result, 1,400 Frontier Communications workers in West Virginia and in Ashburn, VA went on strike at 12:01 am on Sunday, March 4.   "We have been very clear throughout the bargaining process that our top priority is keeping good jobs in our communities," said Ed Mooney, Vice President of CWA District 2-13. "Going on strike is never easy. It's a hardship for our members and the customers who we are proud to serve. But the job cuts at Frontier have gone too far — we know it and Frontier's customers know it. It's time for Frontier to start investing in maintaining and rebuilding its network in West Virginia."   To help show support to our Brothers and Sisters in WV & VA, send them a message on their Facebook page:  WV CWA-Fighting for our Future at Frontier   For potential impacts to CWA Local 1298 during this time, see your Chief Steward.
