Fighting to Restore Workers' Rights
CWA locals across the country are marking International Human Rights Day on Dec. 10 with a colorful reminder that human rights include workers' rights, starting with the right to form a union.
CWA members are receiving flyers showing flags of more than 70 countries where the law provides a fair way for workers to organize unions without facing campaigns of fear and intimidation by employers.
The most notable country missing from the list? The United States. Which is why CWA is using International Human Rights Day to intensify the fight to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
The flyers urge people to call their senators to ask them to support the bill, which would restore organizing and collective bargaining rights that employers, lawmakers and courts have eroded for years.
