Two CWAers Elected Co-Presidents of Pride at Work

Two CWAers are the new co-presidents of the national Pride at Work organization, an AFL-CIO group that fights for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

The new co-presidents are Stan Kiino, a representative for AFA-CWA's United Airlines Council 11 in San Francisco and a graduate of CWA's Minority Leadership Institute, and Donna Cartwright, a Baltimore-based writer who was a member of The Newspaper Guild-CWA until her retirement from the New York Times. Cartwright is among the first transgender officers of a national LGBT organization.

Delegates to the AFL-CIO convention last week issued a bold call for full inclusion and participation of LGBT workers in American society and union movement by unanimously passing a resolution calling for "A Diverse and Democratic Labor Movement."
