Subject: CWA Members’ Activism Leads to NLRB Budget Increase
Thanks to the thousands of CWA activists who have been mobilizing for
the last few months with other union members and pro-worker advocates to
demand Congress take action to fully fund the National Labor Relations
Board (NLRB), the newly released government funding bill includes a long
overdue increase for the NLRB of $25 million for the first time in
nearly a decade. This bump in funding will have a direct and immediate
impact on the Board’s ability to execute its mission of protecting
workers’ rights and ensuring workers are able to join together to
improve their working conditions by forming unions.

Subject: FCC Reaches $950K Settlement with Verizon Wireless
The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau has entered into a historic Consent Decree
following its investigation into whether Cellco Partnership d/b/a
Verizon Wireless (Verizon Wireless) failed to comply with the FCC’s
environmental and historic preservation rules, including rules
implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and
the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), by constructing wireless
facilities. Verizon has agreed to pay a $950,000 civil penalty.
In reaching this settlement, Verizon Wireless has admitted that it
violated the FCC’s environmental and preservation rules by constructing
wireless facilities before completing the necessary historical or
environmental reviews and without onsite monitoring requested by tribes.
To ensure that it does not violate environmental and preservation rules
in the future, Verizon Wireless has agreed to implement a compliance
plan that involves creating operating procedures, distributing a
compliance manual, and establishing a compliance training program.
