CWAers, community activists, consumer groups and others want the Maryland Public Service Commission to say yes to quality service for Maryland telephone customers and no to Verizon's attempt to avoid service standards for residential customers.

In Detroit, Brenda Jones, a member of CWA Local 4004, was re-elected to the City Council. The former local union president has been a strong advocate for working families in the city since she was first elected to the post in 2005.

Technicians at Dish Network in Queens, N.Y. and enforcement officers from the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control administration have won CWA representation. More than 60 Dish Network technicians beat back a strong anti-union campaign to win representation with CWA Local 1106 in an NLRB election. Dish management illegally conducted captive-audience meetings less than 24 hours before the election and also promised workers a big raise if they voted "no." The Dish techs were assisted by Local 1106 President Tony Caudullo and Vice President Jerry Bulzomi.
