Political Action Update

District of Columbia

CWA President Chris Shelton and CWAers joined members from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees, the AFL-CIO, and many other labor groups to picket outside the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Pickets have also been organized at Trump hotels in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Honolulu.

Trump has refused to recognize the right of his employees at the Trump Hotel Las Vegas to organize and bargain, despite their voting for union representation last year and the union being recognized by the National Labor Relations Board.
