Representatives of striking FairPoint workers will meet with officials from FairPoint Communications on Nov. 18 in Boston. The company has been struggling with service disruptions and failing to keep up with customer complaints since the strike began on Oct. 17.

A federal mediator arranged the Nov. 18 meeting, which is an effort to jump-start contract talks that FairPoint abruptly ended this summer.
