CWA Human Rights Activists Join King Celebration

CWA members and leaders from the National Civil Rights and Equity Committee, Ad Hoc Committee and National Women's Committee met at CWA headquarters, then joined in the program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., sponsored by the AFL-CIO. Events include workshops, speaker sessions and the Parade and Peace Walk on Jan. 18, the day set aside by the federal government to honor Dr. King.

District 6 Vice President Claude Cummings, who leads CWA's human rights work, also participated in the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists executive board meeting. The group discussed strategies to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and the implications of the Supreme Court's pending Friedrichs decision for workers' rights and communities.
