Press Releases

This week, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) released a video featuring American call center workers sharing their personal stories and experiences with off-shoring ? a practice that has devastated the domestic call center industry to the tune of 500,000 jobs lost since 2006. Entitled ?Why Wouldn?t You,? CWA?s new video features call center workers from across the country sharing their stories about the impact of losing their jobs and the effect on their lives and families.

Chicago's Mayor should heed the words of President Obama, who in his Labor Day proclamation just a few days ago said, 'I am committed to preserving the collective bargaining rights that helped build the greatest middle class the world has ever known. It is the fundamental right of every American to have a voice on the job, and a chance to negotiate for fair pay, safe working conditions, and a secure retirement. When we uphold these basic principles, our middle class grows and everybody prospers.'

Two national unions and the Pennsylvania NAACP today announced a collaborative effort to register 25,000 new voters in the Keystone State by October 1st.
