Labor Leaders Issue Call to Support May 1 "Day without Immigrants"

The leaders of four national unions, including CWA, are calling for broad labor support for "A Day without Immigrants." The union leaders are urging their organizations' local leaders and members to participate in the expected May 1 actions by millions of immigrants who will be striking and marching in cities and towns all across the country.

The four unions' combined memberships represent almost one million workers. Click here to read the statement.
