CWA delegates called on the United States Senate to eliminate the archaic rules that have blocked critical legislation affecting working families and left important government positions empty because of abuse by the current Senate minority.

CWA delegates voted strong support for T-Mobile USA workers who are fighting for bargaining rights, and applauded the actions of ver.di, the union for T-Mobile workers in Germany that is working with CWA to end the double standard at the company.

Building CWA was the focus of remarks by both Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Rechenbach and Executive Vice President Annie Hill.

CWA Vice Presidents Mary Taylor, District 7, and Jim Joyce, NABET-CWA were elected to full terms and sworn as members of the Executive Board by CWA President Larry Cohen. CWA/SCA Canadian director Arnold Amber also was sworn in.

Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) talked about how important it is that Congress support workers and workers' rights, especially when it comes to mergers, corporate bankruptcies and financial bailouts.
