This Saturday, more than 6,000 CWA public workers will be part of a crowd of more than 20,000 that will jam the state capitol in Trenton to protest the governor's brutal budget cuts.

CWA is weighing all options following last week's decision by the West Virginia Public Service Commission to approve the sale of Verizon landlines in the state to Frontier Communications.
