California Workers' Rights March Includes T-Mobile Protest

CWA's blue balloons floated over a workers' rights march last Saturday in Los Angeles, where demonstrators stopped to protest outside a T-Mobile store.

More than 10,000 people, including a large and spirited CWA contingent, marched through downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to fight for good jobs in their communities and stand with embattled workers across the country.

Thousands of blue CWA balloons with a message supporting T-Mobile workers struggling to organize could be seen all along the parade route. Outside a T-Mobile store, one of four stops along the route, marchers sent text messages to the company demanding it treat its workers fairly. Click here for a video of the event.

"Thanks to our Southern Cal mobilization effort, the CWA turnout was outstanding," CWA District 9 Area Director Libby Sayre said. "Together with other unions and our allies, we sent a strong message that no one is going to take away our collective bargaining rights."
