Legislative Agenda
Corporate Money In Politics – The growing influence of money in politics and widespread voter suppression by state and local governments have made it harder for working families to have their voices heard. Many feel that Washington serves the interests of the rich and powerful, not everyday Americans. That’s why our CWA Legislative Political Action Teams in every district and our progressive allies are fighting for legislation that strengthens workers’ rights and curbs Wall Street’s destructive influence on our democracy. Read more about corporate money in politics and help us fight back.
Collective Bargaining Rights -- Anti-worker politicians, backed by powerful corporate donors, have rigged the system to silence working people and dismantle our collective bargaining powers. CWA continues to stand up for workers in the United States and across the globe, and carries on the fight for the right of people everywhere to organize for fairer wages, benefits and working conditions. Read more about collective bargaining.
Affordable High-Speed Internet for America -- Universal, affordable access to high-speed Internet is essential for working people to connect to jobs, education, healthcare, and a better quality of life. CWA supports efforts to ensure that broadband investments support good union jobs and prioritize the buildout of reliable, high-quality fiber infrastructure—so no community is left behind. That includes ensuring high-quality customer service by keeping call center jobs here in the U.S.—not offshored by corporations that take public dollars, then ship those jobs overseas.
Lowering the Cost of Healthcare – The rising costs of healthcare is forcing working families to choose between meeting their basic needs and caring for their loved ones. CWA continues to advocate for legislation that will reduce the prices of prescription drugs, protect the healthcare plans of union workers and all working families, and expand access to affordable, high-quality care—so no one has to sacrifice their health or their family's well-being to make ends meet.
