CWA Gears Up for COPE Month
September is CWA-COPE Month and the union is encouraging members to help make politicians pay attention to workers’ issues by contributing to the voluntary political action program.
Members have many options for participating in CWA-COPE, ranging from a $1 weekly contribution to the $10-a-week Presidential Club.
Special incentives are offered to members who recruit new CWA-COPE participants. For example, people who sign up 10 new COPE members will receive a CWA backpack or soft-sided briefcase.
Materials detailing the program and promotions have been sent to every local.
Last year’s inaugural September COPE Month was a great success, even in the face of the Sept. 11 tragedies, CWA President Morton Bahr said. He urged locals to redouble their efforts in asking members to participate, either through payroll deduction or by check.
September COPE Month was endorsed by CWA convention delegates, who called for close coordination among locals, districts and the national union to achieve CWA’s political goals.
