CWA’s legislative and political program supports the election of worker-friendly officials and the passage of laws to support workers, their families, and good jobs. CWA has been in the forefront of legislative initiatives to strengthen workers’ organizing and bargaining rights, make health care affordable and available to all, protect Americans’ retirement security, and provide good jobs in a global marketplace of fair trade.
Key to CWA’s legislative efforts and successes are the more than 1,000 Legislative Political Action Team activists who have been trained in effective grassroots political action. They take CWA’s political and legislative program to their states and communities, and build coalitions to fight for passage of worker and family friendly legislation.
