Got CWA-COPE?

Sept. 14 is opening day for CWA's campaign to build participants and contributions to CWA-COPE, our union's political action program.

The message for CWAers: If we're serious about real health care reform, restoring bargaining rights, strengthening our union contracts and building the middle class, we need to be a part of CWA-COPE.

Locals will be going head to head and contacting members to raise additional CWA-COPE funds. Prizes for the winning locals will be announced at the end of the six-week campaign.

Executive Vice President Annie Hill called on locals to remind members that the benefits and gains CWA wins at the bargaining table can be taken away by the actions of national, state and local elected officials. "We won't let that happen," she said.

Stay tuned for updates on the campaign.
