117 ushers and assistant head ushers at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, N.J. won representation with CWA Local 1037 on Nov. 8 through card check recognition. The workers have already elected a bargaining committee and are preparing to begin negotiations immediately. They began their drive after connecting with CWA members who work part-time at the center. Organizers Mark Lender and Anne Luck assisted the workers along with support from Heidi Thomas, Nicole Daywalt, Diego Ponce, and Hetty Rosenstein.
