Linda Hinton Sworn in as District 4 Vice President

CWA President Larry Cohen swears in Linda Hinton as District 4 vice president.

CWA President Larry Cohen this week swore in Linda Hinton as the new District 4 vice president. Cohen recommended and the Executive Board approved the appointment of Hinton following the tragic death of Seth Rosen, who had served as vice president since 2005.

Hinton, 60, has served as assistant to Rosen since 2005. She has served the union in many capacities over the years, most recently directing the district's legislative and political programs and building a strong movement of workers and allies throughout the Midwest, most recently, the Stand Up for Ohio coalition. District 4 covers about 50,000 CWA members in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The swearing-in took place in Cleveland; CWA local union leaders and staff were attending the contract explanation meeting about the tentative agreement reached July 20 with AT&T Midwest.
