Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit CWA Local 1103.

The short explanation of this alert was:

 The sell off of Verizon landlines across the country in rural areas is a cause for grave concern for Telecom Consumers and Workers.  Case in point, FairPoint Communications, a small telecommunications company has purchased 1.5 million access lines from Verizon in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.  Verizon attempted a upstate N.Y sell off of landlines like this in 2004 and was halted as a result of a CWA campaign to Stop the Upstate Sale. But that didn't work in New England and may not work in New York again. 

To protect NY Telecom Consumers and Workers we need a law that will only allow a sale if it is in the best intrests of Workers and Consumers.  To get this we need to demand that our NYS Senators support S.7263.  Demand  support for Consumers and Workers by joining your family and friends and signing the E-Petition to support S.7263.
