CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton Honored for Black History Month

February is Black History Month. The AFL-CIO featured CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton as part of its yearly Black History Month celebration, honoring leaders who are actively making Black history across the labor movement and beyond. Vice President Hinton started her career at Ohio Bell in 1970. Not long after, she was elected Vice President and later President of CWA Local 4310. She went on to be a CWA District 4 Staff Representative, Administrative Director, and Assistant to the Vice President. She is the first woman to be Vice President for CWA District 4. She is a member of several AFL-CIO constituency groups including the Coalition of Labor Union Women, the A. Philip Randolph Institute, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, and the NAACP. She also leads the CWA Women’s Political Power Program and is a member of the CWA Minority Caucus.

This year, the CWA Human Rights Department is honoring Black History Month by focusing on Black Health and Wellness with newsletters covering mental, physical, and social health that you will hopefully find informative and motivational.
