It turned out that this morning was an exciting day here in Arlington Heights! The bargaining team was welcomed by more than 100 CWA members from across the Midwest.  It was truly the best morning we have had in quite a while!

It was truly inspiring to see so many people fighting for all of our futures!

It was great to see the CWA presence at the AT$T shareholders meeting this morning.  The large crowd from across the nation was raucous and energized!  Hopefully, AT$T heard our members loud and clear today.

 

In addition, the mobilization activities across District 4 today were impressive as well!  The number of locations and scores of members participating was inspiring to the bargaining committee.  Thank you!
