CWA Members at Frontier in Pennsylvania Ratify New Contract

CWA members working for Frontier Communications in Pennsylvania ratified a contract with the company earlier this month. Contract negotiations began in November, with a mutually agreed break for the holidays. CWA Local 13571 President Bernie Yashkus led the bargaining, with support from District 2-13 staff, and won improved wages while refusing to sacrifice work conditions.

Workers secured a two-year contract extension, ending in November 2026. The updated contract includes baseline wage increases, cost-of-living increases over the course of the contract, recognition of Veterans Day as a work holiday, and improved vacation language.
