First of Four Regional "Good Jobs, Green Jobs" Conferences Opens in March

The first of four regional Good Jobs, Green Jobs conferences sponsored by the Blue Green Alliance opens in Atlanta, Feb. 23-24.

CWA President Larry Cohen will speak at the Atlanta conference, and CWA workshops will spotlight successful coalition and movement building, including the work CWA and the Sierra Club have done in Texas and Virginia.

The conferences will look at how our nation can create good-paying union jobs and economic opportunities for workers, and how to resist the growing attacks on our democracy.

Last year's Good Jobs, Green Jobs conference featured more than 100 workshops on subjects including worker safety, clean energy manufacturing, transportation infrastructure investment, emerging green sectors, and the financial tools needed to build the green economy.

Following Atlanta, conferences will be held in Los Angeles on March 15-16; Philadelphia, April 3-4, and Detroit, May 10-11. Click here for more information on the conferences.

CWA's BGA partners have joined CWA's Speed Matters campaign to bring affordable high-speed broadband to every community, and to support building one gigabyte of Internet capacity to schools, hospitals and other anchor institutions in communities across the United States.
