Together, CWA and the Steelworkers will develop worker-to-worker training on a variety of safety and health issues on the job.

Over the last three months, another 1,061 CWAers have signed up for COPE, or increased their contributions by at least $1 a week. CWA's political team has been working hard, providing information to members about COPE, their members of Congress and why it's so important for CWAers to participate in the political and legislative process.
