Why Are Local Union Meetings Important?

---

CWA members have so many things to be grateful for in terms of benefits and fair treatment in choosing vacation, overtime, opportunities for other jobs, and retiring at 30 years of service regardless of their age. We all owe a debt of thanks to the members in the past who took a little bit of time out of their schedules once a month to attend union meetings, to be informed not only about the issues they had in their own departments but to learn about and support their fellow members, and vote.

Strength comes from unity. It's easy to sit and complain about problems, but it is so much more worthwhile to come and be part of the solution. Union meetings provide all of us with an opportunity to share ideas with each other on solving problems. It gives our junior members a chance to learn about their rights from more experienced members so they can one day lead our union in the future.

It is also your opportunity to be involved in the running of our Locals and letting your elected officers know what is important to you and how changes are affecting you. The officers aren't the union, the members are. No one officer can know the job all the titles they represent. Without membership involvement they have no way to know the best possible solution for all involved. The leadership of CWA can only accomplish fair bargaining when they have the strength and input of the membership behind them.

Now more than ever we need our members standing together, attending meetings, voting, and sending a message that we care and will stand together to keep the rights and benefits that members of the past worked so hard to achieve.

You have a voice... Why not use it?

CWA needs you - come to meetings - share your problems, ideas and successes - come make a difference.
