Through our hard work in CWA Local 1120 we were successful in getting a full fiber build in Ulster County. Ulster is the ONLY county in New York getting this type of build. Verizon has been granted BEAD money in other locations in New York but on a much smaller scale. This would have been a much larger build in New York if the fiber preference was not removed. Non-fiber builds such as cellular and Starlink took over $140 million in BEAD money that was originally slated for fiber builds. Please click on the QR code below to ask the NTIA to reinstate the fiber preference and the labor standards for high-quality broadband.

President, CWA Local 1120We must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights.
Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone…Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote.”Martin Luther King
