CPUC Public Hearings | Acquisition of Frontier by Verizon

In October 2024 Verizon and Frontier submitted an application for Verizon to acquire Frontier.  As the companies navigate this process industry insiders were split as to whether the acquisition would be approved or not - we previously shared that 63% of the Frontier stockholders voted for the merger.  Both companies have held steadfast with the statement releasing the purchase agreement would violate insider trading laws due to the pending acquisition.  

May 29 (next week) the CPUC scheduled the first public hearing in Palm Desert at 2:00 pm (flyer attached).  We are asking Supporters and Members of the bargaining unit to attend these public forums - you may give testimony as a CWA Local Officer or as the Public.  The D9 team will provide suggested talking points in separate email thread - please contact Yvonne Melton at ymelton@cwa-union.org.
