Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Cable, telephone and broadband workers at Optimum in Greenwood Lake, New York, voted to organize with Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 363.
The union election was held Jan. 7. The Greenwood Lake employees join Optimum workers in nearby West Nyack, who organized with the local last September.
“This victory shows that Optimum workers want a real voice on the job,” said Sam Fratto, business manager of Local 363. “Like the workers in West Nyack, Greenwood Lake employees are standing together to win fair wages, strong benefits and clear protections through a union contract.”
