Frontier (West Virginia)

CWAers at Frontier in West Virginia and Ashburn, Va., are bargaining
for a new contract that covers approximately 1,400 members.
Negotiations opened on Monday between the company and CWA ahead of the
current contract expiration in August. The negotiations come at a
critical time for the company, which emerged from bankruptcy in April
2021. West Virginia is slated to receive $950 million from the
bipartisan federal infrastructure bill to invest in expanding
broadband internet access to locations across the state. Frontier
members in West Virginia and Ashburn went on strike for three weeks in
2018 in order to reach an agreement that ensured that they would be
able to provide quality service and keep good jobs in their
communities. “Five years after our strike, we have the same priorities
at Frontier in West Virginia and Virginia,” said Ed Mooney, Vice
President of CWA District 2-13. “Our message is simple: we want a
contract that supports quality jobs so we can deliver quality
service.”
