A majority of the 100 AT&T Mobility workers at the company's new customer care center in Wheeling, West Virginia, have chosen to join CWA through majority sign up. In their compaign for CWA representation, the workers were assisted by Local 2006 President Debra Shepherd, in Wheeling, Local 2204 organizer Lea Kennedy, from Norton, Va., District 2 CWA Representative Elaine Harris and Organizing Coordinator Richard Verlander. The workers' inside organizing committee did an amazing job of leading the campaign during a period of uncertainly, contract negotiations and the current economic crisis. The company plans to hire an additional 300 employees at the center.
