CWA: Big Win for CWA On Broadband In Syracuse, NY! [telecom]

Show all headers | View raw

With CWA’s help, Verizon won a major bid in the Syracuse area for
broadband buildout.

The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, was signed
into law by President Biden in 2021 in order to help stimulate
American manufacturing and job creation - including funding for
broadband expansion. As part of this funding, Onondaga County, NY
received $11.1 million in funding to expand broadband in underserved
rural areas, and accepted bids from telecom companies to do his
work. CWA Legislative & Political Action Team members in New York
fought for rules that ensured that companies had to pay prevailing
wage and follow strong labor standards so that taxpayer money is not
wasted on unskilled, low-road contractors taking our work.
