The agreement follows months of talks between CWA and the companies. CWA had filed objections with public service commissions in several states over the acquisition and its potentially adverse impact on quality service and jobs. With CenturyLink's agreement to secure jobs and investment, CWA dropped its opposition to the merger. https://cwa-union.org/issues/entry/c/centurylink_qwest ------------------------------ Message-ID: <bd47a484-f1cc-7c0a-8c8e-fce34db8fe94@outlook.com> Date: 24 Nov 2020 12:26:26 -0500 From: Bill Horne <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Employee Cybersecurity: Prevent Holiday Shopping from Compromising Your Network Employees are continuing to work from home as more and more cases of the pandemic come to light.
