Last Wednesday, activists from CWA Local 6215 spoke before the Dallas
City Council to urge the city to attach labor standards to public
funds that are used to expand broadband internet access to unserved
communities. The labor standards will ensure that these funds are used
in a way that will create more good union jobs and require telecom
companies to maintain high training and safety standards.

CWA Broadband Brigade member Robin Johnson and AT&T prem techs Sean
Wilborn and Britni Cuington provided an overview of the proposed labor
standards and explained why this is an important issue for workers and
the community at large. Each time one of the CWA members spoke, every
CWA member in the audience stood up in solidarity wearing red CWA
shirts.
