CWAers Show Union Pride This Labor Day

This Labor Day, CWA and the AFL-CIO celebrated the shared trials and triumphs of working people. Dubbed the “Workers’ Labor Day,” CWA members, retirees, and supporters gathered to celebrate the power we have when we come together in a union—the power to take back our country from the bully billionaires. Over 1,000 activities, from picnics to protests, were scheduled through the AFL-CIO online portal.

CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. attended a march and rally in Detroit, Mich., where he spoke to members, allies, and supporters on this critical moment for the Labor Movement. He stressed resistance to authoritarianism, saying, “Do you know who is not running scared? Us. Our union and our labor movement. We have a whole lot of experience standing up to bullies. When they come for us, for our co-workers, and for our families, do we back down? No!”
