CWA is mobilizing to ensure that our members & the programs & services we provide are protected 4/4

This radical attack is far reaching and stops vital funding streams to, among other things: cancer research and care, Meals on Wheels and food aid, addiction treatment, pre-k, scientific research, homelessness support, and the list goes on and on. 3/

🧵We must refuse, resist and contest Trump's illegal, so-called "pause" on federal grant funding. Thousands of CWA members in state and local government, and in higher education institutions, work to implement these programs, and tens of millions of Americans rely on them. 1/

As the Trump administration & many state governments appear poised to accelerate attacks on higher education as a public good, the AAUP urges colleges & universities to resist the coming onslaught & defend the core values of higher education. 🧵 aaup.org/news/against-a…

Billionaires should not exist. Organize a union to build working class power.

Dr. King believed in the strength of collective action. As union members, we carry his vision forward by showing that when workers unite, we are unstoppable. Today, we recommit to the fight for justice, equality, and the power of solidarity.

Boulder County employees have voted overwhelmingly to join CWA! This represents a milestone in Colorado’s history and a major step forward for workers who aim to strengthen workplace fairness, improve wages and benefits, and ensure the best possible service for the public.

This MLK day we are reflecting on his commitment to the fight against inequality, racial injustice, and militarism. May we all live up to his memory, and keep his dream alive “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

When we fight, we win: Denver voted by over 60% for a CWA-led measure, expanding collective bargaining rights to over 8,500 city workers previously excluded from exercising that right, from emergency dispatch workers, library staff, water employees & more. denverpost.com/2024/11/05/ref…

Our hearts go out in #solidarity with @UCWArizona as they figure out a way forward that prioritizes safety & healing after this senseless act of violence.

Another amazing victory from @UCW_SC, who just won raises to base pay which will affect the lives of hundreds of workers making ends meet in South Carolina! #story-20441" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cwa-union.org/news/e-newslet…

“The combination of the lethality of the virus and the seemingly total abandonment of collaboration from the management I was under produced anxiety and fear in me I had never felt, never." Public health workers deserve better-- together, we can win! #1u inthesetimes.com/article/nurses…

Every August 26 we celebrate #WomensEqualityDay to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Today we also honor the generations of women public workers who have fought, and continue to fight, for equality in the workplace. #Union

Bosses: We really value every member of the team here! [Narrator]: They did not. Respecting public workers, means paying a fair, living wage. Nothing less! #WorkersRights
