But in June, Washington rigged the results, gutting the fiber preference and pro-union labor rules that would have helped create more work for CWA members — and now 25% of the work in NYS is going to Elon Musk’s Starlink while just 7.5% is going to Verizon. Sign our petition to demand that Washington reinstate the fiber preference and labor standards for high-quality broadband and good jobs! https://action.cwa.org/petitions/fiber
