NABET-CWA leaders are taking a tough stance with ABC in the wake of what sector President John Clark says is a "premature" final offer that "we do not regard as beneficial to our membership."

CWA this week filed unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB against Embarq, contending the company's announced plan to slash retiree health benefits for future as well as current retirees is a unilateral change that ignores its obligation to bargain with the union.

The pay and perks of Verizon executives face closer scrutiny from shareholders starting in 2009, a major victory for CWA, the IBEW, AFL-CIO and retirees who worked for corporate governance reform.

Citing a report this week of a US Airways flight crew being hospitalized for symptoms of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning, AFA-CWA renewed its call for legislation to provide for research on aircraft cabin air quality.

CWA members and retirees made a huge difference in key political races this week in Kentucky, Virginia and New Jersey where CWA played a lead role in state campaigns.
