Huge Town Hall Call Held to Address Changes Coming from the Federal Government, Impact on Workers

Over 1,000 CWA members and retirees joined a Town Hall Call on February 27th led by CWA District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor and Assistant to the VP Billy Gallagher to learn more about recent changes coming out of Washington and how they impact union members. 

Topics included abrupt, potentially catastrophic changes at the National Labor Relations Board and how they could impact both current union members and workers seeking to unionize; how cuts to Medicaid could impact all Americans, not just those who rely on Medicaid; the impact of funding freezes on our members in higher education and public service; funding for broadband buildout in limbo; the paralyzation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which previously awarded CWA Local 1180 a multimillion dollar lawsuit victory; and more.

CWA leaders also discussed ways in which our union and others are fighting back against these drastic cuts and working to hold our elected leaders accountable to working families.

Over the past several weeks as attacks on federal workers have increased, CWA members have been supporting our union sisters and brothers and siblings, including joining weekly rallies and actions on Wednesdays demanding a stop to federal worker layoffs.
