On Tuesday, CWA Secretary-Treasurer Sara Steffens joined prominent
Democratic lawmakers and leaders of other unions to participate in a
press conference organized by the Worker Power Coalition calling on
Congress to fully fund the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB). Steffens, who also serves as Co-Chair of the Worker Power
Coalition, said, “As someone who was fired for union organizing, I
know firsthand how dangerous it is to leave union-busting CEOs
unchecked. Whether it’s Starbucks workers in Memphis, an Amazon
warehouse worker in New York, or a Verizon retail worker in Seattle,
the fact is that far too many workers are being fired for exercising
their right to form a union and demand the better working conditions
they have earned. The NLRB must receive the full funding it needs to
hold these billionaire CEOs accountable.” Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ro Khanna (Calif.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Jamaal
Bowman (N.Y.), and Andy Levin (Mich.), as well as International Union
of Painters and Allied Trades President Jimmy Williams, were among the
other speakers at the press conference.
