The United States — the country that invented the Internet — has fallen from 1st to 16th in high speed Internet penetration. To assure economic growth, we must reverse that trend.

From Pennsylvania to Texas to California, 1,500 CWA-represented cable workers are fighting back against an industry that wants to prevent workers from having a voice on the job.

CWA locals and members at Verizon have been conducting a campaign to "Tear Down the Wall" between CWA and IBEW bargaining units and workers at non-union Verizon Business — composed of former MCI workers — and Verizon Wireless.

Supporters of so-called "net neutrality" are lobbying Congress to regulate the Internet and restrict the services that telcos and cable companies can offer, threatening the build-out of high speed connections to households in the United States.

CWA is pressing for real changes in national public policy that will energize economic growth and job creation by spurring universal access to high speed Internet services.
