Organizing Update

63 Cricket Retail Employees Get a CWA Voice

Cricket mobile retail workers at nine stores in Kansas and Missouri have joined CWA. Cricket, a prepaid wireless provider with 1,000 workers at 170 locations, merged with AT&T Mobility; that means CWA's organizing rights agreement with Mobility now applies to Cricket workers nationwide.

Leaders and activists from CWA Locals 6300, 6327 and 6402 visited stores, distributed information and answered workers' questions; the Cricket workers signed up in just seven days.
