Ask the Candidates: What Will You Do to Win Workers' Rights?

CWA members and activists have an important question to ask the candidates for president of the United States: "What will you do to lead the effort to restore workers' rights? How will you lead the fight for the Employee Free Choice Act."

CWA President Larry Cohen stressed that it's not enough for a candidate to say, "as President, I'll sign the bill when it comes to my desk." "We need to hear how these candidates will stand up for us and how they'll fight against a Senate filibuster," he said.

Postcards now are available online that CWAers, their friends, neighbors, family members and co-workers can use to ask exactly that question of up to three candidates – Democratic or Republican. The cards are being collected at CWA and will be presented to the candidates with a letter from CWA President Larry Cohen asking for a response.

"Every candidate will have to put it on the line for our members, and those responses, or their lack of one, will be posted on our website for all of our members to see," said CWA Executive Vice President Jeff Rechenbach.
