Frontier Communications and Communication Workers of America have told us they recently started negotiations. Nothing has been determined, as far as their talks. The CWA, told 59 News, they're sticking to their original message; keeping jobs in West Virginia. "I think anytime that they're talking is good, but the way we feel is that we want 100% of our jobs kept in West Virginia. We want the company, Frontier, to stand up to their promises that West Virginia work will stay in West Virginia," CWA Member, Mike Pennell, said. http://www.wvnstv.com/local-news/raleigh-county/day-19-of-frontier-communications-strike/1070098646 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180326091716.GA15778@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 05:17:16 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Crowds gather at Frontier building in Charleston CHARLESTON, W.Va.
