National Mobilization Committee Hosts Successful Training

Last month, CWA members from Locals 9415 and 9588 participated in seven, day-long, intensive training sessions hosted by the National Mobilization Committee. In all, over 100 members and elected union officials took part in thought-provoking discussions and interactive assignments designed to inspire a critical examination of their roles within the union. The sessions were led by Charles Elgart, Chad Hefner, and Carson Turnquist.

The training also spurred new member contributions to the Political Action Fund.

Over 75 CWA Local 9588 members have expressed interest in future training classes, many of them encouraged by their union siblings who’ve already completed the training. “Many members shared that, for the first time, they felt like an integral part of the union,’” said CWA Local 9588 Executive Vice President Thomas Ham. “Every member who attended expressed a willingness to help mobilize—some even joined committees or signed up to be stewards. It’s been a great experience, and we’re already planning for our next event.”
