The Best "Source" for Keeping CWA Locals and Members Informed

Starting next week, CWA's website for local union communicators, The Source, will be adding another resource to help local union editors keep members up to date on all the issues affecting workers and our union.

We will be adding a new section at The Source, ga.cwa-union.org/source, where editors can go to download individual articles for their newsletters on the Employee Free Choice Act, health care reform, and other key issues. These articles will be formatted in Microsoft Word to make it easier for local union editors to download and use in local newsletters and publications. Currently, CWA members can access articles from the CWA News and weekly CWA Newsletter by copying the text from The Source and main CWA website and pasting that article into a separate file, but putting a selection of the articles in Word will make it easier for editors to access this information.

We also will add a special "Extreme Makeover Newsletter edition" feature to The Source next week to help local editors improve their local newsletter.

A reminder that every week, The Source is updated with the weekly CWA Newsletter, photos, and other useful resources, artwork, cartoons, and materials to improve communications with our members. It also includes templates for workplace flyers, news releases and media advisories, and other materials for union communicators.  

Help us get the word out! Please click here to send us the name and e-mail address of your local union editor to Janelle Hartman in the CWA Communications Department.
