Stand Up for Workers: Sign the Petition for a Fair Contract! (ZIPLY Fiber)
ZIPLY CEO Harold Zeitz (Harold@ziply.com / 425-830-5003)
IBEW Local 89 members at Ziply Fiber are fighting for a fair contract that protects their rights and livelihoods.
After months of negotiations, Ziply is refusing to commit to reasonable job security, adequate wages, and essential benefits.
We need your voice to compel Ziply to prioritize its workers and our IBEW 89 union members!
It’s shocking that while Ziply/Northwest Fiber stands to receive $30 million in taxpayer-funded BEAD awards, they are proposing to diminish the rights and benefits of the workers who contribute to their success.

[Your Name]
I am writing as a concerned member of the community who supports the dedicated workers of IBEW Local 89 at Ziply Fiber.
It has come to my attention that negotiations for a fair contract have reached a critical point, with the company demanding concessions that would undermine workers’ rights, including the removal of accrued sick days and cuts to short-term disability benefits.
As Ziply/Northwest Fiber prepares to receive approximately $30 million in BEAD funding for network buildout in Oregon and Washington, it is essential that these taxpayer resources are met with a commitment to fair wages and working conditions for the workers who contribute to your success.
The labor of these workers is vital to the success of Ziply, and they deserve a contract that reflects their hard work, ensures job security, and respects their rights.
I urge you to prioritize meaningful negotiations and commit to delivering a fair contract that upholds the dignity of all workers at Ziply.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
Sincerely,
