Take Action: Stand Up for Good Broadband Jobs!

New York State is about to submit its plan to the Federal Government to spend nearly $1 BILLION on broadband deployment and we need to make sure our recommendations are included in the plan.

With big funding dollars comes out of state, fly-by-night contractors looking to make a quick buck with cheap labor, and we need to make sure the work goes to highly-trained, unionized broadband technicians - us!

What are we fighting for?

1. Fiber-optic technology wherever and whenever possible
2. Prioritization of high-road employers who have:
   1. A directly-employed workforce
   2. Robust in-house training
   3. Locally based workforce
3. Transparent and enforceable workforce plans
