On January 13, 2011 the entire membership of Local 1101 voted to amend our current By-Laws. This decision was appealed through the CWA Constitution appeals process. On March 25, 2011 the National union declared the referendum conducted by the American Arbitration Association null and void. The Local will be appealing this decision. When the local appeal is submitted we will bring you more detailed information.

Forty-three years ago, in Memphis, a long struggle for human rights and human dignity ended in the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,but it brought economic justice and the respect that all people deserve to 1,300 city sanitation workers, on strike to win recognition of their union.

On April 4 this year,the anniversary of Dr. King’s death, we will remind our elected officials that workers’ rights are human rights, and that those rights will not be destroyed.

In every state, in every community, the fight for workers’ rights and dignity goes forward.

And we’re not alone. Civil and human rights activists; union members and supporters; Latinos, Asians and immigrants; religious supporters; environmental, student and women’s groups; and many others: all of us will stand together for workers’ rights.

Some politicians want to silence millions of working and middle class families.

On April 4th at City Hall Park it’s time for Middle Class Families to make their voices heard. We will stand together. We won’t be silenced.

IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK!
