The Union has received formal notice from the Company, Optimum Communications, regarding its recently announced corporate restructuring and the creation of a new subsidiary entity, CSC Investments II LLC.

Brothers and Sisters,  We are writing to inform you that CWA has reached a Tentative Agreement with Optimum in the form of a 2026 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which will be presented to the membership for a ratification vote. Under the terms of this Tentative Agreement: The current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) will be extended through March 29, 2027.

On behalf of the Executive Board, we want to take a moment to recognize and honor National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

We are proud to welcome our newest permanent members—a change in employment status made possible by an important, though largely unheralded, provision in the recently ratified agreement.

The coalition of union locals that make up this partnership supported the agreement and recommended a YES vote—and you delivered.
