After much thought, I have decided not to seek re-election next June as President of our union. I informed the Executive Board at our meeting Sept. 18. This is the tenth year I have been honored every day to serve as President of our union. I am proud of all of you and the work we have done together for decades.
CWA President Larry Cohen talked jobs and where things are headed for working families with MSNBC host Ed Schultz and Steelworkers President Leo Gerard.
Katie Shannon, though very young, is union to the bone. So you can imagine the poor girl?s confusion when confronted by an uncle who did not have health insurance.
Mitchell Schnurman, a columnist for The Dallas Morning News, challenges the "conventional wisdom about unions and big business." On the heels of CWA's successful campaign to organize American Airlines' passenger service agents, Schnurman looks at AT&T's potential merger with Direct TV.
