Our union siblings in the Communication Workers of America have been fighting for broadband for all built right by union workers, and are urging the Senate to swiftly advance the nomination of Gigi Sohn for Commissioner of the FCC.
The FCC normally has five commissioners, but there is currently a vacant seat, and without a full commission, it will be difficult to move forward on making sure that all Americans have the services they need. Throughout her career, Sohn has been a staunch advocate for the expansion of affordable internet access. During the T-Mobile/Sprint merger, she was a key CWA ally in the fight to protect jobs, and she knows that to build broadband better we need effective state oversight. Sohn will continue to fight for workers and consumers as Commissioner of the FCC.
