CWAers Mark Workers Memorial Day

CWA locals in the Western New York  area, including Locals 1122, 1133, and 1168, joined the Buffalo Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO on April 28th to honor workers who lost their lives on the job, including eight in Erie County this past year, and to dedicate ourselves to the fight for safer jobs.

Throughout the country, workers are increasingly taking collective action and forming unions, and ensuring safe working conditions has been one of the centerpieces driving this movement. Workers in some of the most dangerous occupations, like tower climbers, who are organizing for a voice on the job with CWA, are fighting for permanent safety measures that will ensure the safety of workers for generations to come. As part of this broader campaign, members of the Tower Climbers Union/CWA have launched a public petition to raise awareness and hold companies accountable.
