After a series of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CWA workers in the wireless industry were back together last week for the CWA Wireless Conference! This year’s conference, put on by District 1 and welcoming CWA members from throughout the country, was held in Providence, RI on April 17th - 20th.
Over 250 workers at AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, IHX at AT&T, as well as Tower Climbers in the process of organizing to form a union, and CWA local and district leaders, came together for several days of workshops covering a range of vital topics impacting their work and unionizing efforts. Members also hosted several compelling panels on topics including member mobilization, organizing a union at your workplace, and political action, and heard from Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee.
