CWA Local 7019

Most people don’t realize this is happening…

Telecom companies are shutting down copper networks, and right now the FCC could lose the authority to make sure your phone service actually works — including reliable 911 access.

If that happens, big corporations get to decide what “good enough” looks like.
And let’s be real… public safety and working families won’t be the priority.

This isn’t just about jobs — it’s about whether people can reach help when they need it.

We’re pushing the FCC to step in and protect reliable service and accountability.

The Tempe election is in March. These are the CWA Arizona State Council endorsed candidates.

🚨 Protect 911. Protect Our Networks. Protect Union Jobs. 🚨
As telecom companies shut down old copper networks, the Federal Communications Commission could lose authority over voice service—unless it acts now.
Without oversight, corporations won’t prioritize reliable service, disaster recovery, or public safety.
We’re calling on the FCC to treat VoIP like the essential service it is and hold providers accountable.

Dear CWA Family,

This is about power — and not the abstract kind.

The Arizona Corporation Commission controls decisions that directly impact:

Your utility bills

Broadband buildout

Energy policy

Corporate accountability

And the future of good union jobs in Arizona

The Commission is supposed to protect the public from corporate abuse.

Instead, the current majority too often protects corporations from accountability.

When regulators side with corporate executives instead of working families, we all feel it — through higher rates, weaker oversight, and decisions that don’t prioritize workers.

That has to change.

CWA is supporting Clara Pratte and Jonathon Hill for the Arizona Corporation Commission because we need commissioners who understand that their job is to serve the public — not defend corporations.

They are in the final stretch to qualify for the ballot and need a few more signatures to ensure voters have a real pro-worker choice.

Please take 2 minutes right now to sign their nomination petitions:

This isn’t symbolic. This Commission sets the rules for utilities, infrastructure, and corporate conduct across Arizona. If we want regulators who stand up for workers and ratepayers, we have to help put them on the ballot.

Don’t assume someone else will do it.

Let’s make sure working people have a voice where it counts.
