Last July I posted I had bumped into recently retired President of the CWA Larry Cohen. He knew of my DU labor actives already. We hit it off because Marta was CWA 18 years, stayed out during strikes, and has a CWA pension on it's way when she needs it.

Beth Allen handles the PR for the CWA. She gave me the raw story link in email she knew the real press was already working on to cover later in the day.

Links were sent out immediately by several unions to come to the DU before being echoed on other sites.

In solidarity,

Labor has no voice with them!

3. Great job though. I cross posted it to the Layoffs.com Verizon section.

I was CWA with AT&T Western Electric back in the late 60's and 70's. Farmed out to DOD. Drove me batshit crazy. Too many secrets.
