EXCLUSIVE: IBEW's Five-Year Strike In New York City Is Over As Union Walks Away
The IBEW has been on strike since 2017 and has blocked efforts to decertify the union since 2018.
A nearly five-year strike against Charter Communications/Spectrum Cable in New York City is now over, and the union—the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW)—has disclaimed interest in representing the workers, according to documents filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
A letter sent by Charter Communications’ attorney to the NLRB Regional Office in Manhattan last week indicates that “all matters involved in and/or arising out of or relating to NLRB Case 02-RD-220036 have been settled and the Union has hereby disclaimed interest in representing the bargaining unit [emphasis added].”
