Union Rally Planned
WEST VIRGINIA....
A proposed $8.6 million deal has First District Congressman Alan Mollohan saying, "If we're going to move forward in West Virginia, we can't be shackled by a transaction that puts the smaller company in such debt that the only thing it can do is pay for debt."
The West Virginia Public Service Commission is scheduled to begin conducting an evidentiary hearing Tuesday on the proposed sale of Verizon's wire line business. The hearing begins with a public comment period. The public is encouraged to attend, if they wish to make a statement.
The Communications Workers of America union is urging people opposed to Frontier Communications plan to buy the business to attend a rally which begins at 2:00 P.M. Sunday inside the Culture Center in Charleston. The Public Service Commission's staff and Consumer Advocate Division has recommended rejecting the proposal. The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission and three other states have supported it.
