Let’s be clear about Corning.

Why is Corning now turning its back on the very workers that make it a leader in fiber optics technology?

We have a big task in front of us. At Corning fiber, we are on the front lines of an AI revolution. Corning is signing multi-billion dollar contracts with some of the biggest names in the tech industry. Corning’s quality fiber optics products require attention to details, a high standard of workplace safety, and proper investment and training in the workforce.

Yet instead of partnering with its dedicated workforce in North Carolina, Corning is instead wasting money on union-busting, trying to divide workers. 

So let's be clear about Corning: it needs to invest in its workforce and its facilities and stop wasteful union-busting.

In many of its North Carolina facilities and others in states across the country — New York, New Jersey, Virginia and Kentucky — Corning collaborates with its workers through collective bargaining that brings out the best in its workforce. While Corning expands across North Carolina, instead of investing in its growing workforce to ensure the highest quality of product Corning is wasting money on union-busting and dividing workers from one another.

Corning is currently under investigation by the National Labor Relations Board for allegations that it illegally surveilled workers as they spoke with union organizers at two North Carolina facilities.

Innovation happens when the workers are respected and the company dedicates resources to improving manufacturing facilities, increasing job opportunities and developing a sound infrastructure.
