Local 1170 Members to Frontier Communications: Our Members Do the Job RIGHT!

CWA Local 1170 members - along with Locals 1298, 1111, and 1122 - are standing up against outsourcing and fighting to put a stop to a company that is increasingly trying to weaken the union and force givebacks in bargaining. Local 1170 started bargaining for their next contract with Frontier Communications in May, with several other locals following soon, and members are mobilizing now to show the company that we will not stand for the continued use of contractors doing union work. These contractors are frequently from out of state, undertrained, and don’t know the communities like our members do, leading to increased risk of accidents and poorly done work (in 2022, Frontier was fined $5 million for “reckless” fiber-optic work in Connecticut).
