Red Celebrates Life of CWAer Gerry Horgan Killed on Picket Line in 1989
We wear red to celebrate the life of CWA Local 1103 Chief Steward Gerry Horgan, who was run down over 20 years ago on a NYNEX picket line in Valhalla, N.Y.
Horgan was the first, and until 2003, the only CWA member killed while picketing. His death is the reason why CWA members still today wear red in solidarity on Thursdays.
