“Over 5,000 CWA Members participated in a unique nationwide conference call last night, which discussed many of the issues concerning the labor movement and indeed all working people.

Make no mistake about it, the attacks in Wisconsin are not isolated incidents – the right wing is attacking all workers rights, including the right to form and join unions, collective bargaining, defined pensions, wages, and so on. These attacks are going on in states throughout this great country of ours. A country built not by the barons, but on the backs of working people.

Together we can and will stop this assault on all working people, which could destroy 70 years of progress, and indeed, our very standard of living.

To those of you who participated last night, we want to say thank you. To those who missed the opportunity, you owe it to yourself to participate next Wednesday night at the same time.

In connection with this nationwide mobilization, we will have buses to the Trenton March this Friday leaving from 140 West Street, 275 Seventh Avenue, and 1541 Bronx River Avenue at 9:30 a.m. Friday. If you are interested in attending please contact your Chief Steward.

We also urge all Members to wear red this Friday, February 25th, to show solidarity.”
