Has no one heard of the CWA? They were huge back when I live in California.

Granted that was quite a long time ago and when telco's were a major power.

CWA is a big part of the tech unionization effort today: https://code-cwa.org/

I was once a card carrying member of the CWA, communication workers union, I was an apprentice studying telecoms and systems engineer. They helped me out during my dumb teenager gets caught drunk driving days. Instead of getting the boot, I got counselling for my drinking issues and sent on driver training courses. If I didn’t have the union behind me who knows…
