CWA Statement on the Ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States in Obergefell v. Hodges

Read CWA's Statement on the Ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States in Obergefell v. Hodges.

"Last week the Supreme Court issued a historic ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, permitting same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

LGBTQ activists and their allies fought for years to gain the right for LGTBQ couples to marry. These couples and families were not asking for special rights, or different rights. They were simply asking for the same rights afforded to all other couples.

Today, the Supreme Court enshrined that right. Same-sex couples are now treated equally under the law and CWA is proud to stand behind our brothers and sisters who worked so hard to achieve equality.

As a union, CWA is proud to join this fight for equal rights in the workplace and in society. Today, we can finally celebrate, knowing that we are one step closer to achieving equality and opportunity for all."
