Subject: CWAers Continue to Fight to Fully Fund the NLRB
On Tuesday, CWA Secretary-Treasurer Sara Steffens joined prominent
Democratic lawmakers and leaders of other unions to participate in a
press conference organized by the Worker Power Coalition calling on
Congress to fully fund the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB). Steffens, who also serves as Co-Chair of the Worker Power
Coalition, said, “As someone who was fired for union organizing, I
know firsthand how dangerous it is to leave union-busting CEOs
unchecked. Whether it’s Starbucks workers in Memphis, an Amazon
warehouse worker in New York, or a Verizon retail worker in Seattle,
the fact is that far too many workers are being fired for exercising
their right to form a union and demand the better working conditions
they have earned. The NLRB must receive the full funding it needs to
hold these billionaire CEOs accountable.” Representatives Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ro Khanna (Calif.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Jamaal
Bowman (N.Y.), and Andy Levin (Mich.), as well as International Union
of Painters and Allied Trades President Jimmy Williams, were among the
other speakers at the press conference.

Subject: Comcast Doubles Down on a Shady Billing Practice (It Will
Cost You)
The cable and internet giant plans a price hike for many customers, but
that’s only part of why you should be mad.
By Daniel Kline
Many Comcast>customers have little decent choice when it comes to
internet, and while streaming seems to have made a cable subscription
optional, that’s not entirely true.
If you want the full array of local channels and access to all the
broadcast networks for sports, you pretty much need a traditional cable
subscription.

Subject: Verizon asks for ‘narrowly targeted’ waiver to FCC robocall
rules
By Mike Dano
According to Verizon, there’s one very specific calling scenario in
which it’s unable to block potential robocalls: toll-free calls from
foreign consumers that terminate at call centers belonging to US-based
enterprises. As a result, the company is requesting a waiver of some
FCC rules designed to block robocalls.
In its FCC filing, Verizon argues that it has long worked to block all
kinds of robocalls and that this scenario doesn’t pose a robocall
threat to its customers. Also, according to Verizon, it would be
unnecessarily expensive to implement a technology that could block
toll-free robocalls from foreign consumers that terminate at US call
centers.

Subject: Suspected of Running a Rental Housing Cartel, RealPage
Faces Litigation and a Federal Investigation
Exchanges of information between competitors—particularly pricing
information—is inherently suspect under the antitrust laws.
RealPage, Inc., a real estate software and data analytics company, is
facing class action litigation and a federal investigation over
whether it is facilitating a data-driven rental property cartel with
landlords and property managers, driving up the prices renters pay
each month.
A federal antitrust class action complaint has been filed against the
company and several of its property management clients in federal
court in San Diego on behalf of renters who claim they paid inflated
rental prices as the result of the defendants’ conspiracy to stifle
competition (Bason, et al. v. RealPage, Inc., et al.,
No. 3:22-cv-01611-WQH-MDD, S.D. Calif., Oct. 18, 2022).
