CWAers Win Pride at Work Solidarity Awards

CWAers were honored last week at the AFL-CIO's 25th anniversary Pride at Work celebration.

CWAers were honored last week at the AFL-CIO's 25th anniversary Pride at Work celebration, receiving Solidarity Awards recognizing those who have supported and embodied what it means to have Pride at Work. Pride at Work is a constituency group of the AFL-CIO that organizes mutual support between the organized labor movement and the LGBTQ community to further social and economic justice. 

Receiving Solidarity Awards were Shane Larson, CWA's Director of Legislation, Politics, and International Affairs and former co-president of Pride at Work; and the Staff Union at Lambda Legal, a national legal organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of civil rights for the LGBTQ community and those living with HIV. The Lambda Legal staff won their union election last year to join TNG-CWA Local 32035 and secured their first tentative agreement this month.
