CWA Local 1298 Stands with Activists Over New Haven Jobs Crisis

CWA activists and Local 1298 President Bill Henderson joined hundreds of New Haven residents, students, workers, union members and community activists in a march and sit-down protest over the city's job crisis outside the Yale-New Haven Hospital. Henderson was one of the 134 protesters who were arrested as they demonstrated to focus attention on the need for more living wage jobs for city residents.

New Haven Rising organized the demonstration, noting that of the more than 83,000 jobs in New Haven, only 2,000 are held by residents of the hardest-hit communities.
