Today your CWA Bargaining Team continued to prepare

Locals have one more week, until Friday, May 15, to get in their entries for the 2009 CWA newsletter contest.

The Center for American Progress has released a new animated video, ""How Not to Form a Union: How Labor Law Gives Workers a Raw Deal." The video is a simple but effective explanation of how employers thwart the efforts of workers who try to exercise their right to form unions and bargain collectively. Check it out at http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2009/05/union_animation.html.

Bargaining for a new contract at Avaya covering about 2,000 CWA members began this week, but CWAers have been mobilizing for more than a month to show management they are united for a fair agreement.

CWAers are taking AT&T mobilization to the next stage with a campaign that calls on members of Congress and elected officials at every level to support AT&T employees in the fight for fair contracts.
