CWA Welcomes Jennifer Abruzzo as Senior Advisor to the President

Washington, D.C. – The Communications Workers of America are pleased to announce that Jennifer Abruzzo has returned to the union as a Senior Advisor to the President.

Abruzzo has spent the majority of her career at the National Labor Relations Board and served as General Counsel of the NLRB during the Biden Administration. Prior to her appointment as General Counsel, Abruzzo worked at CWA as Special Counsel for Strategic Initiatives.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Abruzzo back to CWA after her trailblazing work as NLRB General Counsel,” said CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. “Jennifer is a brilliant attorney who has spent her entire career fighting for workers and ensuring that they are able to exercise their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Those rights are under attack like never before. As part of our union’s leadership team, Jennifer’s strategic vision will play a vital role in crafting our response to those attacks and ensuring that workers can continue to join unions, bargain strong contracts, and win a better future for themselves and their families.”

“I very much look forward to collaborating, once again, with my CWA colleagues, who continue to work tirelessly and fiercely advocate for employees nationwide,” said Abruzzo. “During these extremely challenging times, it’s more important than ever for us to consider and implement a multitude of strategies to actively combat assaults by corporate billionaires on working families in this country.”

In addition to her role at CWA, Abruzzo will be of counsel at Bush Gottlieb, a California-based firm serving labor unions.
