Shelton: Working People Must Win Elections in 2020

December 12, 2019

At the CWA National Legislative-Political Retreat, CWA President Chris Shelton spoke to activists about how critical it is to take back the White House and the U.S. Senate with pro-union candidates in 2020 if we want the labor movement to survive. Shelton urged CWA members to concentrate their efforts on electing candidates who will focus on increasing the power of working people to join unions and bargain strong contracts in 2021.

At the conference, attendees also discussed why passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act are a foundation for CWA's legislative agenda, and how CWA members and retirees can participate in crucial election campaigns across the country in 2020.

CWA activists gathered in Silver Spring, Md., for the CWA National Legislative-Political Retreat to hear from CWA president Chris Shelton on how CWA members and retirees can participate in crucial election campaigns across the country in 2020.
