Union workers at Frontier get 3-year deal
The Frontier Communications unionized workers have reached a tentative three-year contract agreement with the Norwalk telecommunications company.
The tentative deal was reached late Monday, according to Dave Weidlich, president of the Local 1298 of the Communications Workers of America.
Weidlich said he hopes to have the contract ratfied by the end of February.
“I think this is a nice agreement for both parties,” Weidlich said. “Our employees are ready to continue building out the fiber optic network for the company.”
Frontier officials could not be reached Wednesday for comment.
The union represents more than 1,600 Frontier employees, Weidlich said. The tentative contract calls for a 9 percent general wage increase over the life of the deal, he said.
