Shea-Porter Statement on FairPoint Communications and Union Negotiations

Statement

Date: Oct. 1, 2014
Location: Manchester, NH
Issues: Technology and Communication Labor Unions

Today, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) released the following statement regarding the ongoing contract dispute between FairPoint Communications and two unions representing its workers, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

"I am disappointed that talks have stalled between FairPoint Communications and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), who represent the workers. There can be no resolution of differences if all parties are not at the table, hammering out an agreement. FairPoint and the union members who work at FairPoint are all important to our economy in New Hampshire and New England. For that reason, I believe it is essential that all parties return to the table and work together to reach a fair agreement."
