AFL-CIO Honors CWA Member for Women's History Month

In honor of Women’s History Month, the AFL-CIO is celebrating the work of women in the labor movement who are making strides not just for worker rights but for equality and justice. This week, the AFL-CIO featured CWA Local 3204 Executive Vice President Yolanda Pearson.

A resident of Atlanta, Ga., Yolanda joined CWA 32 years ago when she began her career at AT&T. She has held various positions within CWA and currently serves as the CWA District 3 National Women’s Committee representative. Pearson also serves as president of the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) Metro Atlanta Chapter, Georgia APRI vice president, vice president of the Atlanta chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, a member of NAACP Dekalb County, and the community service chair on the women's, Pride, and legislative and political committees at her local.

Yolanda’s passion for social change and her commitment to social justice are evident in her many roles and serve as testaments to both her skill and experience in the labor movement.
