As the CWA and IBEW bargaining teams held their first negotiations on June 22nd, practice picket lines went up across Verizon East. Thousands of members walked before work and at lunchtime to let management know that we are ready and we are one!

Over the last several months, more than 3,000 CWA active and retired members have taken part in mobilization workshops. The all-day workshop analyzes Verizon?s anti-union strategy, the bargaining climate, and building an effective campaign to fight back.

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.
