Congressional Black Caucus Leaders Visit CWA

Clyburn-Hill-Cleaver

CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill with U.S. Reps. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), left, and Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), the new chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.

As part of CWA's ongoing effort to build alliances, CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill met recently with two key members of Congress who are strong workers' rights advocates.

House Democratic Assistant Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), the new chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, spent a few minutes at CWA headquarters.

Clyburn has long played a key role in advancing pro-worker legislation, including the Employee Free Choice Act. Both he and Cleaver have taken strong stands against the union-busting actions of Wisconsin's Scott Walker and other governors.

"The Congressional Black Caucus shares our vision for economic justice and workers' rights," said Alfonso Pollard, CWA director for human rights and politics. "We are proud to be working with them toward our mutual goals."
