AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Fred Redmond, both re-elected to their respective positions, vowed to continue the fight for the working class through an ambitious set of goals, including a commitment to turn out 16 million pro-union voters and to organize two million more workers into unions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At a Unity Summit held on Saturday, June 6, CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. provided a keynote address regarding the dismantling of the landmark Voter Rights Act by the U.S. Supreme Court via its recent Louisiana vs. Callais decision. CWA Chief of Staff and Coalition of Labor Union Women President Sylvia J. Ramos also participated in a panel discussion titled “WE ARE: Solidarity. Expanding Labor’s Reach Through Constituencies” during the Unity Summit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Cummings, “Labor activists are mobilizing in support of one another and organizing workplaces across the country. We are opening doors to sustainable wages and safer working conditions for millions of workers. But, more than this, we are defending our shared values of equality, fairness, and justice.

CWA activists made phone calls and lobby visits in opposition to the measure, alongside allies from several California Central Labor Councils and the State Federation of Labor. Both ally organizations sent letters to the committee opposing the bill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proposed legislative measure, introduced by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, sought to alter the structure and oversight responsibilities of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CWAers and our allies beat back an attempt to pack the commission, expanding it from five seats to nine seats and shifting appointment powers away from the governor by adding appointment powers to the state senate and assembly. It also would have removed telecommunications regulation authority from the CPUC and would have opened the door wider for substandard satellite service to replace long-lasting fiber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We must be involved in the legislative and political process at all levels of government, by shaping legislative outcomes that affect CWA District 9 members' rights and protecting Californians,” said CWA District 9 Vice President Frank Arce. “I'm proud of the work CWA District 9 members and retirees did to stop ACA 9. This is our win!”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/section&gt; Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:43:37 +0000 Sarah Splitt 42823 at https://cwa-union.org Major Wins for CWA in Primary Election Season https://cwa-union.org/news/major-wins-cwa-primary-election-season &lt;span&gt;Major Wins for CWA in Primary Election Season&lt;/span&gt;

Members and retiree activists made phone calls, sent text messages, and visited worksites for pro-worker, pro-family candidates. Here are some highlights from recent wins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CWA District 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The primary season was very good for CWA-endorsed candidates winning roughly 71% of New Jersey’s competitive primary races. CWA members who ran for Democratic nominations and won include CWA Local 1037 member Leonard Luciano for Essex County Commissioner in N.J.’s District 4 and CWA Local 1036 member Belinda Fontanez for Mayor of Pemberton Township.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cwad1.org/press-releases/communications-workers-america-district-1-endorsed-candidates-win" target="_blank"&gt;Click here for a detailed breakdown of CWA political wins in District 1&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CWA District 2-13&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to a concerted effort of phone and text message campaigns and worksite visits in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, our endorsed candidate, Bob Brooks won the primary and will now face antii-worker representative Ryan Mackenzie in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CWA District 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;IUE-CWA and CWA District 3-endorsed candidates Charles Booker (Kentucky, U.S. Senate), Morgan McGarvey (U.S. House), Craig Greenberg (Louisville Mayor), and Nima Kulkarni (Kentucky House) all won their races.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Louisiana, CWA turned out to help our own CWA Louisiana Legislative and Political Coordinator and President of CWA Local 3404 Shawn Jones win his seat on the Slidell City Council.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IUE-CWA (CWA District 4)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our IUE-CWA members in CWA District 4, most represented by IUE-CWA Local 84755, ran and won seats on the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee. Winners include Local 84755 members Demetria Hodges, Angela Newland, Sha'eon Garrett, Carla Clay, Stacey Reynolds, and Ida Hamilton.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;IUE-CWA activists organized, knocked on doors, talked directly with voters, and showed the power of grassroots campaigning, even standing in the rain for hours on Election Day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One powerful example was Demetria Hodges, who faced two opponents and campaigned tirelessly, saying, “If I don’t win, it’s not from lack of trying.” Their success sent a clear message that when everyday people step up, organize, and fight for representation, democracy grows stronger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CWA District 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Texas, several CWA members have won primary races and are now on their way to battle in the midterms. Winners include members of the Texas State Employees Union (TSEU-CWA) Local 6186: Maggie Ellis for the Texas Supreme Court; Kyle Rable for the U.S. House, District 19; Pooja Sethi for the Texas House, District 47; James Talarico for the U.S. Senate; Gina Hinojosa for Texas Governor; incumbent Mihaela Plesa for the Texas House, District 70; and incumbent Lauren Ashley Simmons of both TSEU-CWA Local 6186 and CWA Local 1180 for the Texas House, District 146.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://texasaflcio.org/news/union-leader-adrian-reyna-advances-general-election-texas-house-district-125" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to read more about Texas union-led political power-building&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Participants included CWA members from Locals 7777, 7750, and AFA-CWA, representing Flight Attendants, ride-share workers, telecom workers, and members from Alamo Drafthouse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The training focused on major long-term goals for political change, outlining not only the importance of elections but also of community organizing as we fight the billionaire class. The cohort also spent two days doing worksite visits and member-to-member canvassing in support of our CWA-endorsed candidate Julie Gonzalez, who is running for U.S. Senate. Members met with potential voters all across Denver in the ongoing effort to win the June 30 primary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I plan to bring these experiences into my workplace as we organize and bargain over our first contract and into my community as I continue canvassing for labor candidates,” said Brennain Degenhardt, a member of the Sloan’s Lake Alamo Drafthouse bargaining committee, represented by CWA Local 7777. “We are growing a coalition of advocates for the working class, and we will not stop until we see real change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Athens location has a long history of union membership. Now, under new ownership, workers have chosen to join CWA and are looking forward to bargaining a new contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warrington Township Emergency Services&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Warrington Township emergency firefighters in Pennsylvania joined CWA through a Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB) election. Campaign momentum was strong, with workers recognizing the value of having a collective voice on the job. The workers will join CWA Local 13000 under President Jim Gardler. The firefighters are fired up and ready to start mobilizing for a strong contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Six Flags Over Texas EMS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On June 6, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) workers at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington won their union with CWA by a vote of 24-0. The unanimous win came after months of organizing and preparation by the Organizing Committee, supported by CWA District 6 staff. The workers began organizing because of concerns over low pay and being tasked with job duties far beyond their role as healthcare professionals. The EMS Department at Six Flags now joins the over 700 Texas EMS workers who are already in CWA and will be members of CWA Local 6215 in Dallas, Texas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schneps Media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On June 15, workers of the Scheps Media Network, hyperlocal news outlets spanning New York City and Long Island, announced the creation of the Schneps Media Union with CWA. Workers seek to secure competitive wages, sustainable working conditions, and strengthen the news organization’s mission of providing objective local journalism in the public interest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Schneps Media Union is the first new unit ever organized by the Independent Association of Publishers’ Employees (IAPE), which represents Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal workers. IAPE is a part of The NewsGuild of New York (TNG-CWA Local 31003), representing nearly 6,000 media workers in the greater New York area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to our newest members!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. updated attendees on the current state of our union and plans for continued organizing in our core telecommunications sector. Presidents had the chance to debate and vote on pressing issues from the Credentials, Appeals, and Finance committees. CWA Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam also delivered her Financial Report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following day, President Cummings opened the two-day Legislative and Political (LP) Conference, which featured a host of notable speakers, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Sen. Ruben Gallego (AZ), Rep. Greg Casar (TX-35), and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Members also heard from Minnesota Representative and AFA-CWA member Kaela Berg (MN-55B), who is running for Congress in MN-02, campaigning on a pro-union, pro-worker platform.&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/001/131/970/original/20260611enews_cwa_lp_conference_gallego_berg_pritzker-600.jpg" alt="CWA 2026 LP Conference - Senator Ruben Gallego (AZ), AFA-CWA member and congressional candidate Kaela Berg (MN), and Illinois Governor J.B.

Pritzker spoke directly to conference attendees.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Cummings spoke fiercely against attempts by the current administration to disenfranchise millions of American voters after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. “We are seeing, in real time, white supremacists gerrymandering Black districts out of existence, stripping voters of their rights,” said Cummings. “All because they know their anti-worker, anti-family policies will never win votes from the majority of Americans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“You may have heard me say this before, but I keep a slip of paper from the so-called ‘good old days.’ It’s my father’s poll tax receipt. In those same ‘good old days,’ Black people who wanted to exercise that most basic right had to pay to be able to vote. Today they call it the SAVE Act, but it’s the same. People who can barely make ends meet being asked to find money for passports and certified birth certificates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The right to vote is precious. It should never be taken for granted, and we should never allow it to be taken away at all. We will not go back to those dark days.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-0dqSBNL74" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to watch President Cummings’ Legislative and Political Conference speech in its entirety.&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/001/131/971/original/20260611enews_cwa_lp_conference_cumming_poll_tax-600.jpg" alt="2026 CWA LP Conference - Claude Cummings Poll Tax" width="600"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. brandished his father’s poll tax receipt from 1942 as a reminder of the struggles Americans have overcome for the right to vote.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Representative Casar chose our Legislative and Political Conference to unveil his landmark legislation, the “Double the Wage for Overtime” Act, which, if passed, will amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to require employers to pay double a worker's regular wage for every hour worked over 40 hours in a single week.&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/001/131/974/original/20260611enews_rep_greg_casar_lp_conference-600.jpg" alt="2026 CWA LP Conference - Rep. Greg Casar" width="600"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rep. Greg Casar (TX-35) took the stage to formally announce his “Double the Wage for Overtime” Act.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This proposed legislation fits perfectly into the CWA political agenda laid out by CWA Deputy Government Affairs Director Elena Lopez. The objectives of our &lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/sites/default/files/2026-05/202605_lp_conference_worker_power_agenda.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Worker Power Agenda&lt;/a&gt; reflect the most pressing concerns of our members, as expressed in the issues survey, which over 6,000 members completed in the spring of 2026. The survey revealed major concerns over attacks on the ability of workers to join unions nationwide, affordable healthcare, artificial intelligence being used against workers, and the outsized influence of the wealthy in our political system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To address these concerns, Legislative and Political activists will be pushing for a slate of bills outlined in the Worker Power Agenda, including the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, and the No Robot Bosses Act. &lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/sites/default/files/2026-05/202605_lp_conference_worker_power_agenda.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to learn more about our legislative agenda and what it will mean for working people&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/001/131/975/original/20260611enews_lp_conference_worker_power_ai_panel-600.jpg" alt="2026 CWA LP Conference - Worker Power in the Age of AI Panel" width="600"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss&lt;em&gt; (above, right)&lt;/em&gt; hosted a spirited and insightful panel discussion titled “Worker Power in the Age of AI” with &lt;em&gt;(left to right) &lt;/em&gt;CWA Local 3519 Vice President Ylonda Sherrod, The NewsGuild of New York (TNG-CWA Local 31003) President Susan DeCarava, and Representative Chris DeLuzio (PA-17).&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/001/131/976/original/20260611enews_lp_conference_healthcare_panel-600.jpg" alt="2026 CWA LP Conference - Fighting Back Against Attacks on Our Healthcare Panel" width="600"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attendees also got to hear from &lt;em&gt;(pictured above, left to right)&lt;/em&gt; AFL-CIO Legislative Representative Tom Leibried; CWA Local 1122 Legislative and Political Chairperson and N.Y. Home Care Nurse Tori Henley; CWA Local 6186 member and candidate for Texas District 19 Kyle Rable; and Representative Steven Horsford (NV-04). CWA Public, Healthcare and Education Workers Vice President Margaret Cook &lt;em&gt;(right)&lt;/em&gt; moderated the discussion titled “Fighting Back Against Attacks on Our Healthcare”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conference attendees participated in a large-scale run-through of the LP Department’s “Fighting Oligarchy” training, currently available to both CWA members and allies. Participants used an interactive mobile system to answer questions related to the role of money in our political system, how to identify abuses of power, and what workers can do to fight back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the conference featured personal stories​ from several CWA members directly impacted by the current administration’s war on workers, including Colleen Burns and Don Reno Intreglia, AFA-CWA members impacted by the Spirit Airlines implosion, which left thousands of Spirit Airlines Flight Attendants without jobs or healthcare. Attendees also heard from &lt;a href="https://cwa-union.org/news/biden-administration-honors-cwa-steward-rural-innovation" target="_blank"&gt;CWA Local 7603 Steward Jeremiah Clever&lt;/a&gt;, who saw his highly successful apprenticeship program gutted by the Trump administration’s anti-D.E.I. funding cuts, leaving his students and staff in limbo and searching for alternative funding streams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members met in the mornings for conference briefings before spending afternoons on Capitol Hill speaking directly to lawmakers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi1nqmXpOOShGJQyHCKTfaPpW4C00fQRO" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to watch videos from the CWA 2026 Legislative and Political Conference&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, 11 Jun 2026 14:22:39 +0000 Sarah Splitt 42094 at https://cwa-union.org
