CWA Local 1014 and Local 1084 members held two rallies calling attention to their fights for fair contracts. Clad in CWA red, the workers held the rallies during their lunch breaks in front of the Camden City Hall.

A contract for the 450 workers at the Camden County Board of Social Services, represented by CWA Local 1084, expired two years ago. In addition to calling for a new contract, the local is speaking out about the degradation of services being provided to the needy in the community.

CWA Local 1014, which represents a number of bargaining units throughout Camden County, is highlighting the plight of about 311 City of Camden employees. These members' quality of life has been drastically eroded in the last few years because of layoffs, furlough days, increased cost of living, zero percent raises, and the increased cost of health insurance and pension contributions, due to changes enacted by the Christie administation.
