IUE-CWA Local 84907 members ended their 2-week strike against Visteon Corp. in Bedford, Ind., ratifying a four-year pact that provides job security for 700 workers and a $25,000 separation payment for up to 250 workers who voluntarily leave the company or face layoffs.

Pittsburgh Comcast workers proved their determination to win a union contract, despite years of stalling by the company and relentless harassment of union activists, by picking CWA in their third union representation election.

A right wing business group is trying to politicize the collective bargaining process by asking congressional officials to look into the CWA-SBC settlement, charging that "SBC has rewarded CWA's guerilla tactics with a massive windfall just as the union ramps up its partisan efforts to undermine free market policies."

The National Labor Relations Board has agreed to review the long-used practice of forming a union through voluntary recognition.

A recent succession of organizing victories brought CWA representation to more than 600 workers in the health care and public safety professions.
