CWA District 3 Leaders Focus on Union Building

CWA President Shelton with District 3 VP Honeycutt.

At the District 3 meeting in New Orleans, CWA leaders talked about ways to expand the successful political and legislative action program and make CWA STRONG.

CWA President Chris Shelton recognized District 3 as the top CWA district in growing CWA's Political Action Fund last year by exceeding its goals by 149 percent. He applauded District 3’s commitment to bargaining and to CWA's political and legislative work, demonstrated by the more than 3,374 shifts of volunteers, and noted that it is the first CWA district so far to have secured sponsors for legislation to safeguard U.S. call center jobs in every one of its states.

Shelton outlined the CWA STRONG action plan to bring everyone who works and benefits under our contracts into the union as a member, then an engaged member, and finally an activist.

Vice President Richard Honeycutt and assistant to the VP Nick Hawkins are turning this district "into a lean fighting machine," Shelton said, adding, "That, brothers and sisters, is how we change America."

District 3 Vice President Honeycutt spoke about the progress that CWA leaders and members were making across the district, in bargaining, political action and legislative work. He urged leaders to put this energy and commitment to work in their locals.

Speakers included Foster Campbell, a Louisiana Public Service Commissioner and longtime supporter of working families, who called on participants to work to elect government leaders at every level who will work hard on their behalf.
