Just over a year after emerging from bankruptcy, Frontier is
increasingly outsourcing good union jobs to unregulated subcontracting companies, putting public safety at risk.
Communications Workers of America members across California win
agreement from Frontier after striking over the issue.
*Nationwide* - The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has
launched a half-million dollar advertising campaign exposing Frontier Communications’ increasing and dangerous use of subcontracting
companies to perform critical broadband infrastructure work. Frontier management’s aggressive attempt to displace its union workers and
squeeze out good union jobs following the company’s emergence from
bankruptcy in April 2021 is resulting in damage to communities amid
botched rollouts.

*************************** Moderator's Note ***************************
The three ads shown on the CWA site are all the same message, with the
same actors, each aimed at the voters of different states. The only
difference is that the announcer names the different states
(Connecticutt, Teaxa, and California) but the remaining verbiage is
the same, and the graphics show outlines of the different states, with
arrows pointing inward and lots of stick people shown outside the
states' boarders.
The ad for Texas is problematic, however: the announcer says "From
other states," but the graphic shows an arrow which starts in Mexico
and crosses the border into Texas, and there's an arrow from the Gulf
of Mexico, where the graphic includes lots of boat outlines as well,
thus implying that immigrant labor is being brought in to the Lone
Star State by both land and sea to compete with all the Red Blooded
'Muricans whom won't be employed as a result.
I like the CWA, but this one fails the smell test.
