CWA Local 1014 Files Lawsuit Alleging Violations of New Jersey Equal Pay Act Against Camden County

CWA Local 1103 has been busy throughout the Hudson Valley and Westchester County, NY over the past several months, helping lead rallies and community forums to speak with neighbors about planned cuts to basic needs and services—and to hold Congressman Mike Lawler, representing this area, to his constituents. 

“Together we fight for Social Security with all our might!” chanted the crowd at a rally in Peekskill, NY on August 16, led by Local 1103 members and retirees.

Despite repeated assurances that he would never vote for cuts to Social Security, Rep. Lawler’s actual voting record tells a different story—he’s supported gutting the Social Security agency and voted for the Federal budget bill (aka “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or OBBBA), which which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent admitted was a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security,” and which the Chief Actuary predicts will accelerate the Social Security trust fund running out of money.

Local 1103 has been leading the charge to both educate community members on the realities of Rep. Lawler’s lack of support for Social Security, and on the impact of OBBBA on working families.


 

On August 19th, the AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better In a Union” nationwide bus tour made its 39th stop in Croton-on-Hudson, with Local 1103 members and retirees joining other union members to say hell no to billionaires going after our union rights, jobs, and retirement! And that we will stand together to fight for an economy that works for us, not just the ultra-rich.
