CWA Members Receive Advanced Training

NABET-CWA Local 51011 Broadcast Technician Eddie Ayala participated in fiber optics training.

A group of NABET-CWA Local 51011 daily hires are participating in CWA/NETT Academy training funded by the Strategic Industry Fund, taking advanced training and getting certified in fiber optics.

"These technicians will be able to conduct the work at NBC, receive more pay and keep the work in the union, as opposed to the company using outside non-union contractors. This is a great example of making SIF funding work for the union," said NABET-CWA Local 51011 President Lou Marinaro.

More than 30 members are participating in the classes this week. For more information, visit www.cwanett.org.
