As national, state and corporate attacks on unions intensify, CWA and the AFL-CIO are asking locals to make it an "immediate priority" to join and participate in their communities' central labor councils.
"As we respond to the crisis faced by workers in our states and local communities, it becomes clearer than ever before that we need a movement that is strong and united at every level," the AFL-CIO Executive Council said in a letter to union locals nationwide. "We cannot survive as a movement if we let solidarity be simply a word and not a way of life."
