SuperShuttle Drivers

SuperShuttle drivers at Denver International Airport, members of CWA Local 7777, are fighting for a first contract and fairness. About 100 drivers, mostly African immigrants, have been bargaining since January 2012. Drivers overwhelmingly rejected the company's latest demands for a wage cut of about 30 percent that would cut workers' pay to $11.50 an hour.

Detroit's Fox 2

NABET-CWA Local 43 is putting the spotlight on the refusal of Detroit's Fox 2 to bargain in good faith.

Members have been hitting the streets to mobilize against the station. During the recent World Series playoffs in Detroit, activists handed out bags of peanuts to fans going to the games with a label that read "Turn off FOX 2," implying that the company wanted our members to now work for peanuts. When the company attended an event at a big advertiser's furniture store, workers were there outside with signs.

NABET-CWA Local 43 represents many of the technical workers at Detroit's Fox 2. Contract negotiations began in May, but the October talks ended when the union suspended negotiations because the company was not taking it seriously. Fox is trying to eliminate breaks, expand jurisdictional rights so anybody working in the building can shoot video and stop providing photographers gear for inclement weather, among other issues.
