CWA Profile
CWA, America's largest communications and media union, represents over
700,000 men and women in both private and public sectors, including over half a
million workers who are building the Information Highway.
CWA members are employed in telecommunications, broadcasting, cable TV,
journalism, publishing, electronics and general manufacturing, as well as airline
customer service, government service, health care, education and other fields.
The union includes some 1,200 chartered local unions across the United States,
Canada and Puerto Rico. Members live in approximately 10,000 communities,
making CWA one of the most geographically diverse unions.
CWA holds over 2,000 collective bargaining agreements spelling out wages,
benefits, working conditions and employment security provisions for its members.
Many CWA contracts call for innovative training and education programs and child
and family care provisions that are considered pace-setters for organized labor in
the modern workplace.
Among major employers of CWA members are AT&T, GTE, the Regional Bell
telephone companies, Lucent Technologies/Bell Labs, General Electric, NBC and
ABC television networks, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., major papers such
as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, US Airways,
the University of California system, and the state of New Jersey.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., CWA also maintains regional district
headquarters in New York City, Philadelphia, Silver Spring, Md., Atlanta,
Cleveland, Austin, Denver and San Francisco. CWA staff members working out of
50 field offices assist local unions with contract negotiations, officer and steward
training, organizing, legislative and community programs and day-to-day member
representation.
CWA is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, the Canadian Labour Congress, and the
worldwide Union Network International.
