Congressman Stephen Lynch, Fall River Mayor William Flanagan and community leaders representing the Massachusetts Workers' Rights Board reviewed a list of employees at Comcast's Fall River and Fairhaven locations and then checked it against union authorization cards voluntarily signed by employees at the same locations requesting IBEW Local 2322 to represent them.

Based on their card count, an overwhelming majority of Comcast employees in the above named locations desire to unite in IBEW Local 2322.

Rep. Lynch and Mayor Flanagan sent a letter immediately afterwards, "urging Comcast management to respect the employee majority and voluntarily recognize IBEW Local 2322 as their representative and begin collective bargaining for an agreement covering their wages, benefits and working conditions."

"We requested the certification because we wanted to prove beyond a doubt to management that a genuine majority of our co-workers want to form a union and begin collective bargaining," said Brian Almeida, a Comcast technician from the Fall River office who stared with the company in 2001.

Almeida was accompanied at the certification event by about 25 other Comcast employees and many union and community supporters. It took place at the IBEW local 2322 union hall in Middleboro, MA on September 24.
