Workers’ Champion Ed Schultz Will Join Call

CWA’s next “virtual union meeting,” a national town hall by phone and Internet for stewards and all interested members, is scheduled for Thursday, June 16 at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

We’ll talk about our next steps and hear about recent successes, such as the big win CWA members helped make possible in upstate New York, sending a pro-worker candidate to Congress in a special election. We’ll also get an update from New Jersey on the bargaining battle there and from Ohio, where CWA members are building coalitions and circulating petitions to overturn a new law stripping collective bargaining rights from public workers.

Also speaking will be MSNBC and radio host Ed Schultz. An impassioned supporter of workers and unions, Schultz was the first national media figure to report from Wisconsin when the capitol protests began in February.

Please spread the word in your locals and plan to join thousands of your CWA brothers and sisters June 16, at 7:30 p.m. EDT. Visit www.cwaaction.org to register for the call. Prior to the event, you’ll receive an email with call-in instructions.
