CWA President Larry Cohen outlined CWA's political agenda and stressed that "our work isn't about one party. We're not in the pocket of any party but we stand for working families, for CWAers, for our communities." Watch President Cohen's remarks here.

Also meeting with the group was CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill, who told participants that the CWA triangle remains more important and more effective than ever. We must continue to build our legislative and political actions teams in order to offset the attack on collective bargaining, she said.
