85 Locals So Far Have Reached 10% Stewards Army Goal

At least eighty-five locals so far have met the goal of having 10 percent of their members signed up in the Stewards Army and more are very close to reaching that goal.  CWA has long held that we need one steward or mobilizer for every 10 members.

CWA's Ready for the Future program, adopted at last year's Convention, calls for recruiting 25,000 activists by this summer and 50,000 by the 2008 Convention as frontline mobilizers in the critical fights for jobs, health care, retirement security and bargaining rights.

We know the list below is not complete at this point because some locals haven't updated the local's information in the CWA database.  Locals are urged to submit the information so that they can receive recognition at the CWA Convention this July. Enter traditional stewards as well as mobilizers/activists. Instructions follow:

How to Add Stewards/mobilizers to the Local's Member Database

If locals use MUMS, the new 5.30 version allows you to submit Steward/Mobilizer changes via e-mail.  You can create new records or submit data for existing records.

If locals do not use MUMS, you can create your Steward/Mobilizer records online by going to http://www.cwa-secy-treas.org/sa/.  The local login and password are the same as the ones locals use to access online H-166's.  The Sector login and password are the same as the ones used to access membership development reports.
