Another 92 retail sales representatives who work across the state of Alaska have joined CWA through majority signup. The Alaska workers' determination to get a union voice had support from CWA members at Mobility, Avaya and Qwest and from AFA-CWA members, said CWA District 7 Organizing Coordinator Al Kogler. Despite frigid temperatures, a busy holiday season, and retail locations located hundreds of miles apart, a majority of workers signed up for CWA representation in just 45 days. They will be represented by CWA Local 7803 in Renton, Wash. CWA represents about 42,000 AT&T Mobility workers.
