FRONTIER MEMBERS: Summary of Agreement in Principle

CWA District 1 NY/NE Summary of Agreement in Principle

Frontier

March 4, 2026

District One Vice President Dennis Trainor is pleased to announce that CWA has reached an Agreement in Principle with Verizon for CWA members currently employed by Frontier under the Rochester and Elmira, NY contracts. The Agreement is subject to ratification by the combined membership covered under all the applicable CBAs (Frontier and Verizon).  This Agreement signals a new trajectory for CWA members at Frontier who have gone head-to-head for years with a company that has been a consistently bad actor and made repeated attempts to violate our union contract.  As these members move into CWA’s Verizon bargaining unit, they will no longer be fighting on their own, they will be a part of our entire bargaining unit and we will all be stronger for that. This is a huge win for every single one of our Frontier and Verizon members. CWA members who are currently employed by Frontier under the Rochester and Elmira, NY contracts will be covered under the applicable Agreements between CWA District One and Verizon beginning no later than January 3, 2027.
