CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Communication Workers of America took to the streets of downtown Charleston Wednesday afternoon to raise awareness about their ongoing contract negotiations with Frontier Communications.

The union’s current contract ran out on Aug. 2, 2013. Both sides have agreed on more than a half dozen extensions over the last 12 months. However, with the latest extension set to run out on Saturday, CWA members said they’re tired of waiting. They want a new contract, something they said was promised by the company when it bought out Verizon back in 2010.
