ATTENTION ALL CWA MEMBERS AT FRONTIER UNDER THE FORMER VERIZON CONTRACT:
The following is an excerpt from an 8/10/11 email from Frontier CEO Maggie Wilderotter to a member under the Local 2001 “Legacy” contract:

"...West Virginia Verizon contracts are rich and unrealistic... The current West Virginia Verizon contract that we inherited needs to change and when we open bargaining with the CWA on that contract our goal is to move it to our legacy contract levels..."

Currently, here in West Virginia, CWA Local 2001 is in bargaining with Frontier Communications (contract expires 8/11/11 11:59pm), as is IBEW Local 317 (contract expires 8/22/11).  CWA Local 2276 begins bargaining 8/15/11 (contract expires 8/20/11).

If you think these rounds of bargaining don’t affect you, YOU COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG!

We must all be engaged in the fight!!!

·       Participate in every informational picket, rally, activity, etc.  (Informational picketing in support of our Legacy brothers and sisters will take place on Thursday 8/11/11 7:30 am – 9:00 am at 1500 MacCorkle Avenue.)

·       Attend all Membership Meetings.  (Membership Meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month 7:00 pm at the Union Hall, 2512 Kanawha Blvd. E., Charleston.  Our next meeting is on 8/11/11.)

Gerry Horgan
Courtesy of CWA Local 1103


Gerry Horgan was taken away from his family and friends 20 years ago on Aug 15, 1989.  He succumbed to the injuries he sustained after being run down by a scab while walking the picket line fighting for medical benefits from a Greedy NYNEX Corporation.   We wear Red in solidarity and to always remember our fallen brother.  Today many Members only know Gerry as an event that happen during the 4 month long strike for medical benefits.  Gerry was much more, he was a husband, a father, a son and a dear friend who has been missed these past 20 years. 

 

We invite all CWA Members to take a moment and watch & listen to Gerry’s family and friends and celebrate the man who stood up and stood out and paid the ultimate price.  Click the link below and view the video production:

The triangle symbolizes the three major programs of the union:
representation, organizing and community/political action.  None can stand alone. 
If the triangle is broken on any side, sooner or later it will be broken on every side. 
CWA's founding president, Joseph Beirne, called this the "triple threat."
