The company plans to bring high-speed Internet to 750,000 additional households over the next five years, an expansion that would increase Frontier?s broadband deployment by more than 50 percent.
CWA Districts 9 and 6 reached agreements with Frontier Communications to extend current collective bargaining agreements and add more than 200 new union jobs in California, Texas, and Missouri. Frontier also committed to a 100% U.S.-based workforce.
Despite claiming a commitment to diversity, the tech sector continues to be less diverse than other sectors of the telecommunications industry, such as wireline and wireless communications.
