CWA is stepping up the fight against a Senate plan to tax our health care. CWA's message to Senators: we need health care reform, but taxing our benefits is the wrong way to do it.
The Senate bill's proposal to tax health care benefits would make our health care system worse, not better. This new tax, which is opposed by a clear majority of Americans, would affect millions of families. Average families who clearly don't have "Cadillac" health care plans would owe thousands of dollars in new taxes.
CWA District 9 members led a big rally in San Francisco last week that called out the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over its anti-worker and anti-environment stands.

Since World War II, many significant technological advancements have occurred within the telecommunications and other industries. One of these is the increased use of radio frequency, i.e., microwave and radio wave radiation equipment. Such equipment is widely used in the broadcasting and communications fields in the form of cellular telephones and towers; in the health care industry for medical treatment; in the food industry for the processing and cooking of food; in the wood, textile, and glass fiber industries for drying materials; and in the automotive, electrical, rubber, and plastic products industries for fusing and sealing operations.
