After months of bargaining, mobilizing, and the threat of a strike,
CWA members at Frontier Communications in Connecticut (CWA Local 1298)
and New York (CWA Locals 1170, 1111, and 1122) reached a tentative
agreement on Monday. The new 3-year agreement includes wage increases, elimination of two-tier medical plans, and protection of call center
jobs, and it retains the current 401(k) matching and pension
plans. This win follows a tentative agreement reached by Frontier
members in California last week. The members wrote thousands of emails
to Frontier executives, participated in countless rallies, and engaged
members of the public and elected officials. These agreements are
reflective of the power the members generated by actively mobilizing
and fueling the strength of their bargaining committees.
