Fighting for Fiber: How the FCC’s Telecom Deregulation Is Harming Workers

Join CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. on October 14 for a national town hall to learn how you can help protect union telecom jobs.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is handing the big telecommunications carriers a much easier path to abandon copper phone service, with less public scrutiny and fewer state-level protections.

Every mile of copper retired without a fiber update puts union jobs at risk, while streamlined discontinuance rules give carriers the ability to reduce service and staffing commitments with less public oversight.
