COPE

8 in 2008!

When it comes to politics, big business has deep pockets!

The more members who contribute a dollar or more every week, the better armed CWA is to fight for workers’ rights and working family issues.

“We have to do our best to level the playing field,” former CWA President Morton Bahr said. “All the gains we make at the bargaining table can be taken away in an instant by Congress. If big business has its way, employers would be able to raid workers’ pension funds, there would be far fewer job safety standards and overtime pay would be replaced by employer-assigned comp time, among many other threats labor is confronting.”

COPE stands for the Committee on Political Education. It’s CWA's grassroots vehicle for making members' voices heard in political campaigns. Money goes toward informational mailings to members, it supports voter registration drives and phone banks and aids the campaigns of pro-worker candidates and issues at the local, state and national levels.
