CWA Activists Call on Congress to Protect Union Contracts

Last week, CWA grassroots political activists from across the country made calls to their senators and representatives asking them to sign a letter to President Trump demanding that he reinstate former National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox. This outreach was extremely successful, as 265 bipartisan members of Congress ultimately signed the letter, including every Democrat in Congress, both Independents, and Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, a longtime supporter of labor.

When companies bargain in bad faith, change the terms of our employment without bargaining, or do other things that interfere with our ability to join or participate in our union, we file charges with the NLRB. By illegally firing Wilcox, Trump made it harder for us to enforce our contracts by leaving the NLRB with only two board members, preventing it from ruling in most cases.

Send your own message to President Trump asking him to reinstate Gwynne Wilcox so we can protect our contracts.
