CWA Local 9417

Tomorrow (June 11) at noon CWA members and allies will take a stand against racism by doing what union members do best when demanding justice: Stopping Work. We... are asking all CWA members to stop and reflect for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to remember the length of time the Minneapolis police officer had his knee on George Floyd’s neck. IMPORTANT: Contact your shop stewards or local officers for information on what actions will be taking place at your work location.
