CWAers Meet in Pittsburgh for Customer Service Conference

Participants at CWA's Customer Service Conference focused on organizing and fighting back against the corporate power that hurts jobs and incomes.

Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa., customer service professionals heard from CWA President Chris Shelton, who talked about the challenges facing CWA customer service members, noting, "Our jobs are targets for employers constantly looking for ways to boost their profits by cutting our pay or benefits."

Workshops and other sessions concentrated on racial justice in the labor movement, offshoring, global unionism, and building power in the workplace.
