CWA: Congress Needs to Get to Work Now on Jobs, Help for Hurting Americans The results of the midterm elections don't change the tough times facing millions of middle class and working Americans who are struggling with joblessness and how to take care of their families. CWA challenges Congress to get to work now to help build an economy that works for everyone. We don't need a government that believes "we're all on our own." We do need real efforts to help create quality, sustainable jobs in the U.S. and to build a government that supports its citizens.

CWA members were the biggest winners in this year?s CWA-COPE contest, because the big jump in new CWA-COPE contributors means that CWAers will have an even stronger voice in the political process. CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill said CWAers should be very proud that ?in the face of great challenges, a record number of members volunteered to either contribute to COPE for the first time or increase their contributions.?

Rainy weather didn't stop CWA members from rallying outside two DISH Network locations near Dallas, Texas, this week, to support DISH employees in their fight for the CWA voice and bargaining rights they voted for in February.
