Statement from CWA District 2-13 Vice President Ed Mooney on Frontier's Injunction Request

We believe the request for the injunction is an overreaction by the company to the lawful activity of our striking members. The court has given the parties until Monday evening to come to an agreement on the parameters of that activity during this strike, and we will work to ensure that our members’ rights are protected.

The company’s action comes in the face of the tremendous support that residents and business owners across West Virginia have shown for the strike, and shows that the company is worried because that support has spread to Connecticut, where Frontier workers have set up informational pickets at work locations and at Frontier's headquarters.

We are strong, we are united, and we are committed to the fight for good jobs and quality service in West Virginia.
