Kathy Blair, a Verizon technician and union activist who was unjustly fired for bargaining mobilization activities last year, won her job back along with 20 months of back pay in a recent arbitration ruling.

Nearly 400 registered nurses at Kimball Medical Center and St. Barnabas Behavioral Health Center—members of New Jersey Nurses Union/CWA Local 1091—ratified a first contract May 23.

Members of The Newspaper Guild-CWA from seven newspapers and the Associated Press were among this year's winners and finalists for Pulitzer Prizes, one of journalism's most prestigious honors.

CWA women, and a few of their union brothers, came together in Seattle this spring for the National Women's Conference, where speakers urged them to continue to build on the strong tradition of women's activism in the labor movement.
