Bargaining Update: Frontier Communications - West Virginia

Bargaining continues for a new contract with Frontier Communications covering 1,600 members of CWA Locals 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in West Virginia.

CWA Frontier members joined a town hall call this week with CWA President Larry Cohen, District 2-13 Vice President Ed Mooney and the CWA Frontier bargaining committee.

Activists are stepping up mobilization with a big action today at Frontier headquarters in Charleston that had managers seeing not red, but a sea of CWA signs in the parking lot. Rallies are planned for this Saturday, July 20, in Fairmont, and Saturday, July 27, in Charleston. CWAers, union supporters, elected officials and others will attend. Frontier workers are determined to "Hold the Line" in the first major contract negotiations since Verizon sold its West Virginia properties to Frontier. The contract expires Aug. 2
