In a fight with the most anti-union governor in their history of their contract, CWA New Jersey state workers successfully preserved the integrity and enforceability of decades of collective bargaining.

The secretive, anti-competitive deal between Verizon Wireless and the nation's four leading cable companies will hurt economic development, diminish job creation, lead to higher prices with fewer options, and grow the digital divide, nine upstate New York mayors said Wednesday.

Bargaining continued for a first contract for 15 CWA-TU technicians at T-Mobile USA in Connecticut.

CWA locals contributed more than $253,000 to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation in 2011, CWA Secretary-Treasurer Annie Hill reported. The PAF has been CWA's Charity of Choice for more than 20 years, and since that time, CWA locals have contributed nearly $7 million.

A federal judge threw out even the modest changes that the National Labor Relations Board approved last year to ensure that workers have fair and timely elections.
