BGA's 'The Job's Not Done Tour' Calls for Senate Action Now

CWA and other union members will be taking turns riding the BlueGreen Alliance's bus for the national "The Job's Not Done Tour", which left from Los Angeles on Monday.

CWAers, members of the Sierra Club and other activists have signed on for the BlueGreen Alliance's "The Job's Not Done Tour," aimed at urging Senate action on critical legislation that will create and save millions of jobs. The three-week, 17-state, 30-city bus tour, left Los Angeles this week.

CWA President Larry Cohen, who spoke at a media teleconference before the tour got underway, said that obstructionist actions pursued by some Senators to block climate and energy legislation and other critical measures for working families must be stopped.

The build out of high speed broadband, especially to anchor institutions in smaller communities, is critical to building the quality jobs and sustainable communities our nation needs, Cohen said.

CWA members will be a big part of events in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Events also are scheduled for New Mexico, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, with the final stop in Richmond, Va., on Sept. 3.
