Organizing Update
- West Penn Printing employees voted 26-21 to join CWA Local 14827. The company mounted a vehement anti-union campaign, hiring an expensive "anti-union persuader" and using scare tactics on workers whose only pay raises have come in the form of mandated minimum wage increases. But house calls, informational leafleting and organizing meetings paid off with a win. This effort came out of the PPMWS Organizing Cooperative effort, where they have placed full-time local organizers in four regions of the sector.
- CWA Local 9415 beat back a decertification election at Comcast by a vote of 89-35. The key issue was the new system of metrics that the company wanted to impose, so that it could essentially get rid of any worker it wanted. While the group faced and fought off a decertification attempt in 2008, this time they were even stronger.
