Law makers and law professors oppose provisions in the TPP trade deal.

"Volunteer activists are the heart of the health and safety movement," CWA President Larry Cohen told 1,500 union members who gathered in Pittsburgh this week for the CWA-Steelworkers Health, Safety & Environment Conference.

At town halls, rallies and lobbying visits to their Members of Congress, union activists have been speaking out loud and clear about their opposition to "fast track" for labor deals, especially the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

CWA District 6 Vice President Claude Cummings and Ruth, his wife of 43 years, were among the more than 70,000 people who marked the 50th anniversary of the famous "Bloody Sunday" march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, last weekend.
