CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. Addresses Congressional Labor Caucus

The Congressional Labor Caucus welcomed CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. as a featured guest earlier this week. President Cummings updated members of Congress on CWA organizing campaigns, including our support for federal call center workers at Maximus. His remarks also included a plea for increased support from members of Congress for workers who go on strike while engaged in bargaining. Cummings pressed the caucus to prioritize passage of critical labor rights legislation like the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, urging them to put it at the top of their agendas in January when the new Congress takes office.

The Congressional Labor Caucus was founded in 2020 with a mission to advance the needs of working people and the labor movement in Congress.
