Although some progress has been made, the company remains stagnant on several issues including wages, job security, and issues related to working from home. Last Thursday, the union and the company entered into federal mediation which is scheduled to continue until the end of this week. https://cwa-union.org/news/bargaining-update-198#:~:text=CWA%20members%20at%20Frontier%20Communications,related%20to%20working%20from%20home. -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

During this historic, first of its kind event members discussed topics impacting workers including work/life balance, health and safety, industry pricing and wages, working conditions, and more. "One of the issues in our industry is the culture and the things that are taught to us young. Things like working from sunup to sundown and if you leave early you feel this guilt," said tower climber and TCU/CWA East Coast Organizer Carl Milloy. "There is always this saying in our industry: 'either you have all the time and no money, or all the money and no time.' I think it's long past due that we stand together and we make the changes needed." https://cwa-union.org/news/organizing-update-156#:~:text=Tower%20Climbers&text=%E2%80%9COne%20of%20the%20issues%20in,East%20Coast%20Organizer%20Carl%20Milloy. -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
