Representing over 5,000 Spirit Airlines Flight Attendants, the most immediate concern for AFA-CWA is the health and well-being of those members with medical conditions who have lost their health insurance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AFA-CWA leadership anticipates a long battle in the courts over compensation for the grounded Flight Attendants, many of whom must begin looking for work immediately or risk falling behind on bills and accruing major debt. There is also a concerning risk to other low-cost carriers, as spikes in jet fuel costs threaten revenues across the industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://unionly.io/o/afadrf/relieffund" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to donate to the AFA-CWA disaster relief fund&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The committee hearing was titled “Falling Behind: Workers in the Trump Economy.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geiser discussed worker exploitation in various CWA sectors, including telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and media. She spoke about how corporations are using artificial intelligence to further squeeze and surveil workers, harming the quality of service workers can provide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Studies show that collective bargaining counterbalances employer market power, leveling the labor market playing field so that profits are distributed more fairly to workers,” said Geiser. “Through economic power, workers can also negotiate job security protections and limits on outsourcing.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During exchanges with members of Congress, Geiser emphasized the need for workers to stand together against CEOs and oligarchs, stating, “If we’re organized and have the right villains in our sights, together we can change the balance of power.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2GCzuvPH-s" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to watch the entire committee hearing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="text-align-center"&gt;&lt;img style="max-width:600px;width:100%;" src="https://can2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/data/001/120/419/original/20260507enews_nell_geiser_congressional_committee_testimony-600.jpg" alt="Nell Geiser Testifies Before the Congressional Education and Workforce Committee" width="600"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Pictured from left to right:&lt;em&gt;

Bargaining started in August 2024. In March 2026, members announced their willingness to strike if League management continued to stymie negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout bargaining, members were clear and consistent on their demands for the league to meaningfully invest in its players with improvements to healthcare, minimum standards for team facilities, and better housing and travel conditions. The tentative agreement includes language guaranteeing access to employer-provided health insurance and 12-month player contracts, eliminating lapses in compensation during the offseason. Other gains include increases to minimum compensation, standards for employer-provided housing, hotel accommodations, team facilities, and medical care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;USLPA-CWA Player President and Bargaining Committee member Duke Lacroix said, “While no agreement is perfect, I believe this tentative agreement represents an important step forward in establishing true professional standards. It addresses several key issues our members consistently identified as priorities. I am proud our membership remained fully united and committed throughout this process. Their collective support ultimately guided our approach at the bargaining table and led to our successes.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;USLPA-CWA members will be notified when the language for the agreement is finalized and educational sessions to explain the TA are available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to CWA’s United Soccer League Players Association members!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

On that same day, Alphabet Workers Union-CWA (AWU-CWA Local 9009) members took up space on Google campuses across the country, inviting their coworkers to join the Googlers for Job Security campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On social media, on the AWU-CWA website, and on banners and flyers distributed in the workplace, Googlers for Job Security unveiled a collage with photos of hundreds of their coworkers who support the campaign. Members educated coworkers about their four key demands of guaranteed severance, no Googler Reviews and Development (GRAD) quotas, voluntary buyouts before mandatory layoffs, and the option to use severance as leave. Members also collected petition signatures in support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Google workers are performing at high levels of productivity, generating record-breaking profits for the company despite fears of sudden layoffs. Over 3,800 Googlers have now signed on in support and their movement continues to grow every day!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out some of the reasons Googlers are fighting for job security on their &lt;a href="https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/job-security" target="_blank"&gt;newly updated campaign page&lt;/a&gt;

Hopes of a brighter future dimmed, however, when the Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism publicly alluded to job losses and remained silent on union rights. More than 1,300 signatures on a petition demanding good-faith bargaining and strong staffing have started to turn the tide, but your support can help tip the balance in favor of these NewsGuild-CWA journalists!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge-the-pittsburgh-post-gazette-is-a-union-paper-for-a-union-town/" target="_blank"&gt;Please sign this petition to fight for union journalism and demand good-faith bargaining for your union siblings in Pittsburgh&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Magic: The Gathering Arena Developers Launch Union Drive with CWA&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday, nearly 100 game developers behind Magic: The Gathering Arena, a popular digital adaptation published and developed by Wizards of the Coast, formed a union with &lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/wizards-coast-developers-form-union-cwa" target="_blank"&gt;CWA, expanding the growing union efforts in the tabletop roleplaying games industry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a letter sent to management, workers outlined several issues that they hope to address as a union, including protections over layoffs and remote work, guardrails over generative AI usage and mandatory crunch time, and increased transparency and equity in the workplace. They’ve also called on the company to voluntarily recognize their union by International Workers’ Day (May 1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcletter" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to sign UWOTC-CWA’s petition to Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more union updates, visit &lt;a href="https://unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/" target="_blank"&gt;unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/&lt;/a&gt;

If ratified, the new four-year contract will cover 9,000 technicians, customer service representatives, and retail workers across 36 states and the District of Columbia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout negotiations, workers mobilized to build power and support their bargaining committee, resulting in a tentative contract that sets new standards for members in their respective fields. Highlights of the tentative agreement include a top-tier healthcare benefits package, a wage increase of five percent in the first year, annual wage increases throughout the life of the contract, job security, and other gains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“This strong tentative agreement is a reflection of our members' dedication to holding AT&amp;amp;T accountable for their corporate greed,” said CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor. “Whether handing out flyers at AT&amp;amp;T-sponsored March Madness basketball games or holding informational picket signs at busy intersections, CWA members mobilized for higher wages, stronger benefits, job security, and more. This is a tentative agreement that reflects their fight and delivers for both AT&amp;amp;T workers and the customers they serve.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A ratification vote will be held once members have had an opportunity to review the details of the agreement. A summary of the tentative agreement is available at &lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/sites/default/files/2026-04/202604_at_t_mobility_orange_ta_summary.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;CWA.org/OrangeTAHighlights&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The move is an effort to ensure better benefits, protections, and rights for workers, as well as increased equity, transparency, and agency in the workplace. Workers with the Hachette Workers Coalition have signed hundreds of cards in support of forming a union at HBG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With approximately 600 members, the &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/HachetteWorkersCoalition/" target="_blank"&gt;Hachette Workers Coalition&lt;/a&gt; (HWC-CWA) will be the largest union in trade publisher history, inclusive of workers in every physical office and remote location, across the United States and Canada. The HWC-CWA demands a livable wage regardless of work location, better working conditions, a cap on workload hours, a clear and neutral grievance process, AI protections, follow-through on DEI policies, and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This campaign is a major strategic push for The NewsGuild-CWA and could spell more powerful contracts for future members in the industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Both across the publishing industry and especially at HBG, we have felt the crush of increased workloads while our compensation, career growth, and opportunities have stagnated,” said HBG designer Andy Wang. “Instead, leadership has continued to spin the revolving door with callously handled layoffs and hushed dismissals, and has regressed on common-sense policies such as the right to work from home or to even have your own desk! As united members of the Hachette Workers Coalition, we reject our current industry model, which actively undermines the long-term development of employees’ skills and their ability to support themselves and their families in pursuit of unsustainable profit-driven growth.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://wbng.org/2026/04/27/hachette-book-group-employees-announce-largest-unionization-campaign-in-trade-publisher-history-with-washington-baltimore-newsguild/" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to read more about the Hachette Workers Coalition&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, 30 Apr 2026 16:20:02 +0000 Sarah Splitt 39149 at https://cwa-union.org
