CWA, Educators Urge Biden to Name Rosenworcel as Permanent FCC Chair

The Communications Workers of America asked the Biden administration to appoint FCC acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel as permanent chair and nominate a fifth commissioner, in a letter released Thursday. CWA said Rosenworcel “moved quickly and effectively to help consumers during the pandemic and close the digital divide.” The commission's work “will be slowed” until the vacant seat is filled and a permanent chair is appointed, it said. The American Federation of Teachers, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, National Education Association and the Service Employees International Union also signed.
