Workers at American Airlines, from passenger service agents to flight attendants, mechanics and pilots, are in the fight of their lives.

June 5 was a dark day as GOP Gov. Scott Walker won his recall election. Wisconsin must be a huge wakeup call for all of us ? for the labor movement, and for our progressive allies and partners. Wisconsin sadly demonstrated that the 1 percent can reach into just about every aspect of our lives.

Across the country, lawmakers and governors are pushing for legislation that guts workers? collective bargaining rights, benefits and pensions. They?re attacking on voting rights, immigrants and a fair tax system. But CWA and activists allies are launching initiatives and building coalitions to fight back, working to restore economic and social justice and democracy.

As CWA activists keep up the fight for fair contracts, bargaining rights, economic justice and a stronger democracy, that old adage has never been truer. We can?t go it alone. That?s why we?ve joined together with our progressive allies in our push for bargaining rights, secure jobs, fair trade, good healthcare for all and retirement security. Together, our growing coalition is tackling climate change, the DREAM act, immigration reform and measures to decrease home foreclosures.
