2019 Customer Service Week of Action

UNITED WITH MAXIMUS WORKERS
OCTOBER 7-11, 2019

 


CWA’s Customer Service Week of Action is a celebration of customer service workers that recognizes the important contributions we make to our communities and economy. For this year's Customer Service Week of Action, we're united in solidarity with Maximus workers who are fighting for a union and fair wages. 

Maximus employs about 10,000 customer service agents at eleven call centers it operates under a contract with the federal government to respond to inquiries about Medicare and the federal Affordable Care Act exchange. Maximus pays its customer service professionals as little as $10.60 an hour despite the critical service they provide.

As workers unite to form their union, the company has responded with a campaign of fear and intimidation aimed at stopping workers from joining together for a voice at work. We're united in solidarity with Maximus workers as they fight for a union!
