The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is expanding its national program to educate 700,000 members and their families about the threat to our democracy posed by the U.S. Supreme Court?s Citizens United ruling. That ruling allows corporations to contribute unlimited money to political campaigns because the court determined that corporations also have free speech and other rights that individuals are granted by the U.S. Constitution. CWA?s continued commitment comes as the national AFL-CIO passed a statement endorsing action to overturn the Citizens United ruling at its winter meeting in Orlando, Florida.

NABET-CWA and NBC Universal have entered into an agreement that would provide for the assignment of the Union?s members to certain broadcasts airing on the Company?s ?NBC Sports Network? cable channel. This new agreement comes less than one month after NABET-CWA members ratified a new national contract at the NBC Television Network and its TV stations in New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles.

CWA called the FCC's action requiring Verizon Wireless and four cable giants to remove redactions from some filing documents a good first step.

The Communications Workers of America and its media sectors are urging the Federal Communications Commission to reject changes to broadcast media ownership rules unless the outcome will encourage greater diversity and competition in news coverage and other local programming.

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) today announced a tentative contract agreement with AT&T Mobility in CWA District 6, an agreement that includes the return of a minimum of 2,000 jobs over the four year life of the agreement.
