CWA Members at Consolidated Say “Be Mine” to New Contract

CWA Local 1400 Customer Service Representatives at Consolidated Communications/Fidium Fiber shared the love this Valentine’s Day by ratifying a new contract, securing big gains over the next two years.

Members will immediately receive a 1.5% raise, followed by a 3% raise in August and another 3% increase in August 2026. The contract also includes improved job security language with a 6-member cap for transfer of work over the life of the agreement and an enhanced voluntary exit offer. There will be no increases to the cost-sharing of healthcare premiums, and both active employees and retirees are now eligible for enhanced discounts on services for phone and internet.

"It was imperative, with the Trump administration and the dismantling of the NLRB and other Labor departments that protect workers' rights, to secure an extension of an existing agreement without any diminishments,” said CWA Local 1400 President Don Trementozzi. “Even though this contract did not expire until August 2025, we were able to negotiate an extension to protect and provide economic growth for our members for another two years. They are extremely happy with this agreement and have voted overwhelmingly to ratify it.”
