Labor Leaders Rally Behind Sherrod Brown in Ohio
CWA President Claude Cummings Jr., CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton, and IUE-CWA President Carl Kennebrew joined other labor leaders this past weekend in Columbus, Ohio, at a rally for labor champion Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).
Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd of union members and retirees, President Cummings said, “Union members have a lot of allies in Congress. But we don’t have as many champions who will fight for us when our jobs, our rights, and our livelihoods are on the line. Sherrod Brown is the epitome of a champion for labor. He takes whatever kind of action is needed to help create and protect good union jobs, no matter how many billionaires, CEOs, and lobbyists he pisses off in the process.”
