Our bargaining teams will fight for good jobs and a fair contract. But contract negotiations are never won solely at the negotiating table.

In the nation's largest union election in years, Flight Attendants at New United voted this week for representation with the AFA-CWA.

The National Mediation Board election covers nearly 25,000 air safety professionals at the merged airlines, joining 9,000 Continental and Continental Micronesia Flight Attendants formerly represented by the Machinists (IAM), and 16,000 AFA-CWA members from United.

Proving that solidarity is the key to victory, 4,400 determined CWA members at Kaleida Health in Buffalo, N.Y., learned early Tuesday that instead of taking a scheduled strike vote, they'll soon be casting ballots for a new two-year contract.

They called it the "Million Signature March," but 1.3 million would be more accurate. The final, stunning number of petition signatures that a lively parade of Ohioans delivered Wednesday to their secretary of state's office was, to be precise, 1,298,301.

CWA locals statewide and the entire union movement are united in plans to protect collective bargaining, negotiate a fair state contract, and save workers' jobs while protecting and maintaining critical services in the state.
