While Microsoft continues to boast billions of dollars in annual revenue, XBOX workers behind the entertainment industry's most profitable and iconic franchises are treated as disposable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWA members have countered these layoffs with common-sense protections at the bargaining table, but management sits on those proposals without real responses or change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An injury to one worker is an injury to us all. We are calling on Microsoft to reverse these layoffs and to bargain first contracts with our members!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cwa.org/saveourdevsrally" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to RSVP to a rally near you&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.twitch.tv/UVW_CWA" target="_blank"&gt;Tune into UVW-CWA's Twitch livestream at 9:30AM PT/12:30PM ET to watch the rallies virtually&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="text-align-center"&gt;&lt;a href="https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/save-our-devs-actions" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="max-width:600px;width:100%;" src="https://can2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/data/001/149/627/original/20260813enews_get_involved_save_our_devs-600.jpg" alt="Save Our Devs" width="600"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Support the Double the Wage Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWA political ally &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/2139696536640339" target="_blank"&gt;Senator Ruben Gallego&lt;/a&gt; (D-AZ) recently introduced the Double the Wage for Overtime Act, designed to put more money in your pocket.

During a meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ (NCSL) Technology and Communications Committee, members took up the Universal Service Fund (USF) Modernization Resolution, officially making it an NCSL directive. The resolution will no longer need annual approval but will now remain in place for four years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWA staff worked with Broadband Brigade member Marcus Chambers and CWA District 2-13 Administrative Director Lisa Fazzini to locate a sponsor for the resolution. Former NewsGuild-CWA President Linda Foley, who is now a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, sponsored the resolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The USF Modernization Resolution asserts the NCSL’s support for modernizing the USF to ensure it remains sustainable and relevant in a broadband-first era. This directive will help support good jobs for CWA members and make service more reliable and affordable for customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NCSL represents legislatures in the states, territories, and commonwealths of the U.S. Its mission is to advance the effectiveness, independence, and integrity of legislatures. It is also tasked with fostering interstate cooperation and facilitating the exchange of information among legislatures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This win is a direct result of the efforts of our Legislative and Political activists engaging political allies to promote policies that improve working conditions for our members.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr oversaw the vote, which resulted in a 2-1 decision in favor of removal, paving the way for Nexstar Media Group to acquire TEGNA, Inc. and potentially control 80% of the nation’s television market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Commission's rule change is expected to bring on a wave of broadcast mergers, which would result in worker layoffs and shuttered newsrooms. NABET-CWA and others have argued before the FCC that increased consolidation of broadcast companies raises issues of media ownership and censorship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can find a brief video of NABET-CWA President Braico speaking at the protest on &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbwA9k1Bgud/?hl=en" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1280285875162163" target="_blank"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cwaunion/video/7671369886152641822" target="_blank"&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

These kids and families don’t need additional obstacles to being healthy and safe. We're calling on UCSF to keep specialized pediatric care in Oakland, where our community can access it,” said UPTE-CWA member and clinical social worker at CHO Paola Portillo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members of the Oakland City Council, county staff, parents, and supporters attended the rally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Nexstar raised challenges that delayed the certification but when the NLRB certified the unit, Nexstar refused to recognize the union. The company began litigation that made arguments about alleged supervisors, Board Agent misconduct, and improper influence on the election by a promised reduction of dues rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On June 30, 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its Order and Opinion enforcing the Board's decision in NLRB v. Nexstar (WROC-TV). The appellate court addressed and dismissed Nexstar's arguments, including alleged Board agent misconduct.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members of the bargaining unit hope that Nexstar representatives will learn from this appellate court ruling. The unit has issued a new request to commence bargaining with WROC-8 on a first contract, for which these members have fought for nearly 42 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

The union victory marks an important step forward toward better pay and news standards for community papers in the greater New York City area. IAPE is a part of The NewsGuild-CWA Local 1096.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The worker-led organizing campaign lasted for a year and a half, across numerous local N.Y. news offices, despite a concerted anti-union effort from management, including an onslaught of emails, calls, and one-on-one meetings aimed at swaying workers to vote against forming their union. Workers focused on their goals of livable wages, affordable health care, and stronger editorial guardrails.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“IAPE is thrilled with the monumental win of the Schneps Media Union and looks forward to negotiating with the company to create a fair contract that protects worker rights, ensures fair treatment, and guarantees employees are paid what they deserve for the great work that they do,” said IAPE Local President Jodi Green.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow the workers on their &lt;a href="https://cwalocals.org/schnepsunion" target="_blank"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/schnepsunion/" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://x.com/SchnepsUnion" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://bsky.app/profile/schneps-union.bsky.social" target="_blank"&gt;Bluesky&lt;/a&gt;.

On Monday, they launched the Pittsburgh Progress, a worker- and reader-owned daily news cooperative featuring worker-centered reporting hard to find elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The outlet’s mission is to “serve as a source of communication and connection that reflects the needs of working-class people in the region.” True to their ethos, they are working with CWA union co-op members at the Sassafras Collective (CWA Local 7250), who designed their website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can support the former strikers today by &lt;a href="https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/joining-the-pittsburgh-progress-cooperative-today/" target="_blank"&gt;becoming members of their co-op and subscribing&lt;/a&gt;; following their accounts on &lt;a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pittsburghprogress.bsky.social" target="_blank"&gt;Bluesky&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Pittsburgh-Progress/61591840746736/" target="_blank"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/pittsburghprogress/" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;; and &lt;a href="http://pittsburghprogress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;reading and sharing their work&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you or your Local would like to discuss directly supporting or investing in the Progress financially, you can contact them at &lt;a href="mailto:PGHGuild@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;PGHGuild@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/section&gt; Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:44:31 +0000 Sarah Splitt 42883 at https://cwa-union.org
