Narrative:
Taxiing outbound from echo concourse on yankee south where it becomes whiskey, crossing taxiway C2 is mislabeled D2. D2 is actually 2 intxns down. ATC notified several months ago, no apparent action taken. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states he was chewed out for being in the wrong place and told controller about the wrong signage. Controller indicated he would report to supervisor. Nothing has changed. At the intersection of C2, one side has correct sign but opposite side has D2 instead of C2. Very confusing. Hopes we can do something.
