CWA has launched an advertising blitz in New Jersey to counter proposals from a handful of state legislators who are trying to renege on their commitment to ensure a secure retirement and health care for state workers.

Delta Air Lines management engaged in tactics that interfered with the flight attendants' ability to have a fair and free union election, AFA-CWA stated in formal interference charges it filed this week with the National Mediation Board, which governs labor relations in the airline industry. The union's allegations include substantial evidence that the airline employed aggressive tactics designed to defeat the workers' campaign for representation.

CWA-represented nurses and other health care workers held a huge rally and informational picket line outside Mercy Hospital in South Buffalo, N.Y., following an overwhelming vote by members to authorize a strike if a fair contract isn't reached.

Eager to go to bat for their union and working families everywhere, CWA retirees have committed to do whatever's needed to help pass the Employee Free Choice Act and health care reform.

Former Telecommunications Vice President T.O. Moses, who served CWA members for more than half a century before his retirement in 2002, died June 7 in Lubbock, Texas, at age 78.
