Chief of Staff Sylvia J. Ramos, who led the negotiations of this settlement reached on January 19, stated she was informed that this is the largest award to CWA Passenger Services members in the union’s history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During negotiations for a new contract in late 2024, the bargaining team noticed errors with the flex-and-freeze and flex-and-progress adjustments made by the company. To resolve these errors, Chief of Staff Ramos placed immense pressure on the company to submit full and complete audits of all employees—which the company dragged its feet on for months. Ultimately, the audits revealed hundreds of workers had been placed on the wrong step or were earning the wrong wage rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. stated that he believes this settlement is the result of members’ mobilization efforts and resilience in the face of a lengthy bargaining process. Congratulations to all involved in this historic settlement!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continue to show your support for a fair and just contract with Piedmont Airlines by &lt;a href="https://action.cwa.org/letters/take-action-stand-with-piedmont-airlines-workers-fighting-for-a-fair-contract" target="_blank"&gt;sending a letter to CEO Eric Morgan&lt;/a&gt;

The members are located in CWA Districts 2-13, 4, and 7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proposed four-year contract includes a 13.4% compounded wage increase throughout the life of the contract; an increase in the time interval between calls, doubling the current duration; and quality, affordable healthcare, preserving prescription drug co-pays.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In April 2026, members voted to authorize a strike if negotiations between CWA and DirecTV failed to reach a fair agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“DirecTV customer service workers held the line for a strong contract that includes lower healthcare costs, fair wages, and more than a ten-second break between calls,” said CWA Local 2009 Area Vice President Eli Martin. “Their fight is reflected in this agreement and should send a message to the company that the workers who make the company millions are united for a strong contract that benefits both the workers and the customers we serve.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Lander, who is running for New York’s 10th Congressional District, has been one of CWA’s most vocal champions for decades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout his career in public service, Lander has stood with CWA members on numerous occasions, most recently at Condé Nast (TNG-CWA Local 31003), the National Audubon Society (CWA Local 1180), and with interpreters organizing with CWA at LanguageLine Solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWA members canvassed, shared flyers and information with fellow members at worksites, and phonebanked to drive pro-worker turnout to Lander’s campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lander is expected to continue being a strong advocate for workers.

This win comes after members initiated a 24-hour unfair labor practice (ULP) strike on May 26 over the National Abortion Federation’s (NAF) refusal to implement even minimal protections against artificial intelligence (AI) implementation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TNG-CWA members work directly with patients as Care Coordinators and provide support to member facilities as Operations Coordinators. They had major concerns over how AI systems are used, especially in surveillance and data collection of patients. Other concerns included staff burnout, high turnover rates, low job security, and improving healthcare benefits. The three-year contract secures wage increases, 100% employer-paid healthcare, short-term disability benefits, improved scheduling, more accessible sick leave, and protections against unilateral AI implementation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Throughout nine months of bargaining, our union stood in incredible solidarity, which enabled us to achieve significant protections against being replaced by AI, as well as raises and additional paid time off that will enable us to provide sustainable, patient-centered care and support our member facilities,” said TNG-CWA member and NAH Care Coordinator Amber Pugh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to the courageous members on their win!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Cummings laid out CWA’s goals for the upcoming elections, saying, “We will do everything in our power to turn out the vote in the coming midterm elections and to put pro-worker, pro-people candidates in power who will choose workers over wealth.

Those 250 years have seen incredible changes to the way we live and work. Since its establishment, the history of the United States has been inextricably intertwined in the history of its workers. From the enslaved workers who built its financial foundation, to the industrial workers who laid the foundations for our cities, to the technological workers today, connecting lives through phone and internet, no celebration of this nation is complete without acknowledgment of the struggles and triumphs of those who built this country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/about/cwa-history" target="_blank"&gt;The history of CWA is an integral part of the American story.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since its founding in 1938, CWA has safeguarded the livelihoods of millions of Americans, opening doors to opportunity, closing racial, ethnic, and gender pay gaps and promoting the general welfare of the nation’s greatest asset, American workers.

Members took their case directly to legislators, calling on state leaders to lower costs without shifting more of the burden onto workers, retirees, local governments, and families. Members have been visiting the capitol over the last several months to speak to lawmakers and to provide testimony on the healthcare issue. They have also made calls to legislators and spoken to reporters to share personal stories of the impacts of untenable healthcare costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“When public workers stand up and fight for affordable healthcare, we’re not only fighting for ourselves,” said CWA District 1 Assistant to the Vice President Bill Gallagher from the podium. “We are part of a larger movement, a movement to change the healthcare system that puts profits over people. A movement that says ‘affordability matters’.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ralliers called on state leaders to adopt practical reforms, including stronger oversight of healthcare vendors and carriers, real transparency in pricing and drug costs, Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) reform and competitive bidding, and claims audits to root out waste. Above all, members called for fixing the State Health Benefits Plan so it stays strong, affordable, and sustainable for the workers and retirees who depend on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an &lt;a href="https://www.nj.com/opinion/2026/06/when-a-detention-contractor-can-turn-away-njs-governor-everyones-rights-are-at-risk-opinion.html" target="_blank"&gt;op-ed run at news site nj.com&lt;/a&gt; on June 17, CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor wrote, “The message is simple, and other states have already written the proof: New Jersey can have quality, stable, affordable public health coverage and a sustainable bottom line.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cwad1.org/press-releases/over-3000-cwa-members-and-retirees-rally-trenton-demand-new-jersey" target="_blank"&gt;Click here for more details about the rally&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/001/136/264/original/20260625enews_trenton_nj_healthcare_rally-600.jpg" alt="2026 CWA Healthcare Rally - Trenton NJ" width="600"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;CWA members, retirees, and allies joined elected officials and local leaders in Trenton, N.J., to demand the state use the tools at its disposal to end the current healthcare affordability crisis.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The new contract will go into effect on October 1 and run through March 31, 2031.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new ratified Master Agreement covers broadcast technicians, newswriters, producers, and desk assistants at various company network and TV station operations in New York; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; and San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new contract guarantees wage increases of 3%, 4%, 3%, and 3.75% over the next 4 years, the highest wage increases in a 4-year contract in more than 30 years for these members. The contract also includes improvements to how travel time is calculated, new rules to stop stagnation on the pay escalator, and guardrails regarding how generative artificial intelligence (AI) will affect members. This is a particularly important subject right now for our graphic artists and newswriters, but it will protect all of our members moving forward as AI usage becomes more widespread.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“NABET-CWA and the ABC network Locals involved are proud of the many contractual enhancements we’ve achieved in negotiations with ABC-TV,” said NABET-CWA President Charlie Braico. “The upgrades to wages, benefits, and travel provisions will directly improve the lives of our daily hire and full-time staff members significantly. Our union solidarity and determination have proven once again that when we stand strongly together, we win, for members and for workers across the board.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/section&gt; Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:42:28 +0000 Sarah Splitt 42831 at https://cwa-union.org
