Employees at one of the nation’s largest telecommunications companies are being urged by their bosses to sign a petition opposing net neutrality legislation passed one week ago by the California legislature.

In an email Thursday to employees at Frontier Communications—a leading provider of internet, TV, and phone services in 29 states—West Region Senior Vice President Joe Gamble painted California’s Senate Bill 822 as a threat to Frontier, its business partners, and its employees.

“We are asking Governor Brown to veto a law that is bad for Frontier’s business, our partners and our employees,” wrote Gamble, according to a copy of the email leaked to Gizmodo.

S.B. 822, which seeks to reenact net neutrality protections stripped away by the Trump administration this year, must be signed or vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown by September 30.

1. WOW if Frontier is a leading Communications company

That's just amazing. They are over stretched and in danger of going belly up since Verizon dumped their California, Texas and Floriday land lines on them. They are leveraged out the wazoo. I don't pay much attention to Frontier stock but it was in the toilet the last time I checked.
