Delegates Pledge to take Comcast Workers' Fight Back to their Communities

Convention delegates pledged to take up Comcast workers' fight for fairness. The cable workers hold up a banner featuring Comcast worker and activist John Pezzana.

Comcast workers' fight for fair contracts and a union voice was taken on by 2,500 AFL-CIO convention delegates who signed a CWA petition to educate elected officials, community leaders and activists in their hometowns about Comcast's attack on workers' rights.

Not so long ago, some 5,000 workers at Comcast had bargaining rights. Far fewer do today, the result of Comcast's refusal to bargain fairly and its continuing harassment and assault on workers who try to organize. Convention delegates honored a strong group of CWA members at Comcast in Pittsburgh who fought to keep their union through four elections over five years and are pressing Comcast for a fair contract.
