Ever since 280 Brooklyn technicians voted to join CWA Local 1109 in 2012, Cablevision has waged an aggressive anti-union campaign. Last year the company even went as far as unjustly locking out and firing employees who simply wanted to speak to management about their stalled contract negotiations. Thanks to support by de Blasio and other community leaders, Cablevision bowed to pressure and rehired every single worker.

Now, the fight for a fair contract continues.
