More than 175 workers joined CWA last week, from telecom workers at AT&T Mobility in Puerto Rico to public workers in the Borough of Island Heights in Ocean County, N.J.

Workers at the Bo Robinson Community Education Center in Trenton, N.J., wanted a union and they overwhelmed management's efforts to stop them. The workers at the privately-run center that helps former corrections prisoners transition back into society voted unanimously, 54-0, last week, for CWA Local 1040. The unit has 69 workers total.

In a strong majority vote, flight attendants at Frontier Airlines voted to join AFA-CWA.

Just like 40,000 other CWA members at AT&T Mobility, 315 workers from the former Centennial Wireless in Indiana and Michigan have a union voice, joining CWA through majority sign up. In Indiana, some 290 customer care representatives at the Ft. Wayne call center and a 10-person statewide unit of technicians now are represented by CWA Local 4900.

On May 3, AT&T Mobility workers in Indiana and Michigan gained recognition.
