PCCA Applauds Senate Rejection of McFerran Renomination at NLRB
The Power & Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) applauds the U.S. Senate's rejection of Lauren McFerran's nomination to serve another term as National Labor Relations Board Chair. Announced on December 11, just five days before the deadline, the decision marks the end of her tenure on the board, which has been problematic at best and, at worst, outright unconstitutional.
PCCA members have been contacting their Senators over the last couple weeks to oppose the McFerran renomination, and when PCCA Government Affairs Committee members flew into to Washington, D.C., at the end of November to meet with legislators, the issue was atop their agenda.

New Research Details Critical Broadband Construction Workforce Needs
A new national study, Broadband Market Workforce Needs, found that the unprecedented injection of federal and state funding into the broadband market is a disruptive force requiring an extraordinary volume of engineering and construction activity that the market is not prepared to support and will result in broadband deployment delays.
Announced by the Power & Communication Contractors Association (PCCA) and the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA), the study was conducted by Continuum Capital, an independent consulting firm, and includes a state-by-state breakdown of broadband funding, workforce numbers, and wage rates.
