Cablevision Workers Standing Strong for CWA Voice

Cablevision workers in Brooklyn are standing strong, despite a very hostile and intense anti-union campaign being waged by management. Management has been holding four captive audience meetings per week, every week, up until the Jan. 26 election.

CWA Local 1109 Executive Vice President Chris Calabrese said more than 70 percent of the 280 field technicians, dispatchers and other operations employees have signed cards seeking representation.

The workers also have the strong support of Rev. Al Sharpton, who is inviting them to the National Action Network breakfast honoring Dr. Martin Luther King in Harlem on Jan. 16. Rev. Sharpton also will lead a delegation to meet with Cablevision CEO James L. Dolan.
