CWA Youth Service Workers Mobilize for a Fair Contract

Earlier this month, members of CWA Local 1037 working at Bergen’s Promise, a non-profit care management organization in New Jersey, sent a strong message of solidarity to company management with a petition, signed by 97 percent of the workers, calling on the company to bargain in good faith. They also held a sticker action with messages for company management and will continue to mobilize until a fair contract is on the table. Members have been negotiating since December for salary increases, affordable healthcare, and a better work-life balance.

Members provide care management services and coordinate an array of community-based resources for youth ages 5-21 and their families. The youth they serve have behavioral, emotional, mental health, and substance abuse issues and/or developmental disabilities.
