President’s Report
 

“And so this is Christmas and what have you done?   Another year over and a new one just begun”.

-         John Lennon

Union Brothers and Sisters,

I just wanted to let you know that tis the season to reflect on our future and our past, then be thankful for the union jobs we have that make this holiday season enjoyable and special with family and friends.  Thank you for your generosity and time given to our brothers and sisters that are less fortunate during this holiday season.  

We will have an extremely busy year ahead as we prepare for bargaining a contract with CenturyLink. This could be one of the most significant career impacting decisions we face as we watch how unions and collective bargaining are under attack nationally and how they would enjoy paying wages which would be equivalent to non-union workers or contractors.  Healthcare, Housing, Quality Public Education – A Right for All, Labor Rights, Jobs:  Where are they? How do we create (union) jobs? Next year’s General Election will also impact our lives dramatically if we are not successful in electing the candidates that will support the working class and restore the American Dream.

As we move forward, you can see that we have a lot of work to do and I am asking you to attend your Units Monthly Meetings conducted by your Area Vice Presidents.  I am asking you to become more involved whether it be in the Steward structure, the Committees our Local has or whatever capacity or time you can commit as we move ahead.

From the CWA Local 7019 Staff, the Executive Board and I, wishing everyone a safe and very peace-filled Holidays with family and friends.

In solidarity,

Thomas
