Cablevision Signs Agreement With CWA-Affiliated Workers in Brooklyn

Cablevision said it signed a collective bargaining agreement with 260 of its Communications Workers of America-affiliated workers in Brooklyn. The agreement follows a National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge’s ruling in December that Cablevision and CEO James Dolan were guilty of violating several labor laws. The judge ruled Cablevision wasn't guilty of surface bargaining, saying the company had negotiated with CWA in good faith (see 1412050065). Cablevision didn’t disclose the terms of the agreement Friday, saying it still required ratification by the CWA-affiliated workers. “With this agreement, our focus in Brooklyn will continue to be providing the best connectivity and service to Cablevision customers,” Cablevision said. CWA Local 1109 President Tony Spina said in a statement that the union “looks forward to opening a new chapter in its relationship with Cablevision.”
