With the assistance of CWA's News Media Guild and the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center, journalists at the Associated Press in Mexico won union recognition and bargaining rights with STRM, Mexico's strongest and most democratic telecom union.

CWA, IBEW, Verizon and a diverse group of business, health care and retiree organizations have formed the "Bridge Years Health Coalition," to support efforts for reform of the health care system and to make sure that the concerns of Americans aged 55-64 get addressed in health care reform.

At a forum sponsored by the Bipartisan Policy Center and Better Health Care Together, a coalition that includes CWA, AT&T, and other union and business groups, labor, corporate and political leaders had lots to agree on when it comes to health care reform.

Sept. 14 is opening day for CWA's campaign to build participants and contributions to CWA-COPE, our union's political action program. The message for CWAers: If we're serious about real health care reform, restoring bargaining rights, strengthening our union contracts and building the middle class, we need to be a part of CWA-COPE.

While we prepare our next set of Q&As, here's something to think about.
