CWA District 1 Wins for Workers
CWA Legislative & Political Power = Big Wins for Workers!
With our political power, we've passed more than ten bills in the past few years that protect our work for the future.

2022 (NY) Legislation to protect our jobs blocking proposed dangerous, anti-union "One Touch Make Ready" regulations.
2022 (NY) Helped secure billions of dollars for hospital funding to support healthcare workers, including bonuses for healthcare workers who worked through the COVID-19 pandemic.
2022 (NJ) Passed the Responsible Collective Negotiations Act to strengthen collective bargaining rights for New Jersey workers.
2021 (CT) Helped pass legislation to ban anti-union "Captive Audience Meetings" to protect workers, strengthen our union rights, and help stop union-busting by employers.
2021 (CT) Passed an Act to Concerning Call Center & Notice of Closure to protect our call center jobs form being shipped out of the state.
2021 (NY) Successfully took on the powerful Hospitals lobby to pass two major bills in our fight for Safe Staffing, creating labor/management staffing committees that ensure real consequences for understaffing.
2019 (NY) Passed legislation to decrease the wait time for workers on strike to apply for Unemployment Insurance from 7 weeks to just 2, strengthening our bargaining and striking power.
