Our communities depend on the internet to work from home, teach our kids, and stay connected to our loved ones. It has become essential to our way of life. However, millions of people across the country do not have reliable and affordable broadband internet access.
The states in our district recently received millions and billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funds to expand broadband in the state. CWA is working to ensure our members directly benefit from this influx of money.
To do this, we need strong labor standards attached to the federal money. This gives our employers a competitive advantage to receiving this money and investing in good, union jobs.
