Election Judge

Kevin Martin

Please take a couple minutes of your time today to TAKE ACTION on a Bill being heard tomorrow in the Rhode Island Senate.  This Bill would allow Verizon to determine when to stop offering traditional telephone service to customers without any oversight by the Public Utilities Commission and Division of Public Utilities and Caniers. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 2323, which is affiliated with the Rhode Island AFL-CIO represents well over 900 Verizon employees and passage of this bill would be devastating to these employees and could result in the loss of well paying middle class jobs. Along with the potential loss of jobs to these skilled workers, we are equally concerned about the loss of consumer protections over rates, terms and conditions, and billing for those customers who are still provided basic telephone service, many of whom are part of our elderly population.
