As 2009 came to a close, more than 150 workers joined CWA through organizing campaigns in Districts 1, 2 and 7. In New York, a majority of the professionals at Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital and Sterling Medical gained representation with CWA Local 1168 after a majority signed union authorization cards. The workers will be covered under CWA's master agreement at Kaleida Health. Across Idaho, a majority of AT&T Mobility's statewide unit of network technicians (formerly part of Edge), signed up for representation by CWA Locals 7603, 7610, and 7621. In Prince Georges County, Md., workers at Directsat TV, a contract dish installer for DirecTV, voted 44-24 for representation by CWA Local 2107.
