The death of Robert Byrd on Monday was the end of an era in West Virginia, where the country's longest-serving senator was a hero to CWA members and workers across the state who knew he was always in their corner.

A CWA Local 1126 member who was shot while working at an AT&T Wireless store in central New York will be honored at the CWA convention, along with the off-duty police officer who killed the gunman before he could hurt anyone else.

Calling for green jobs and a clean energy future, CWA joined with other unions, veterans and environmentalists Wednesday in the shadow of the Washington Monument where 10,000 American flags spelled out "Freedom From Oil."

Determined to save public broadcasting in New Jersey, CWA Local 1032 members had reason to celebrate, cautiously, this week as the state Legislature put off a decision about privatizing NJN until at least mid-October.

Technical workers at St. Mary's Hospital in Reno, Nev., will get a 9.5 percent raise over the next two years under a first contract that the new members of CWA Local 9413 ratified overwhelmingly Tuesday night.
