CWA members who created and led a project to reduce the use of patient restraints at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital in New Jersey have won first place in a statewide quality improvement competition, beating more than 60 other entries.

CWA has reached an agreement with Frontier Communications that preserves union jobs, raises wages and calls for the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in broadband build-out and other projects. It also requires Frontier to ensure that at least 84 percent of eligible job titles throughout the United States are union jobs.

Leaders representing eight national civil rights, labor, and environmental organizations urged Congress to act quickly to clarify the Federal Communications Commission's authority to protect an Open Internet and apply Universal Service funding to broadband.

Online registration is now available for CWA local union editors and webmasters who cover the CWA Convention. The Convention opens on Monday, July 26 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.

The full committee met Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Both parties provided opening statements including goals and expectations.
