AFL-CIO Honors CWA Member for Women's History Month

In honor of National Women’s History Month, the AFL-CIO is celebrating the work of women in the labor movement who are making strides to improve not only their community but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. This year, they have chosen to spotlight CWA Local 1180 Vice President Teesha Foreman.

Foreman has been a civil servant with the New York City Housing Authority since 2000. From shop steward to staff representative, supervisor, executive board member, and now second vice president, Foreman’s journey has been rooted in ensuring that women—especially women of color—have a strong voice at every decision-making table. She serves on the CWA National Human Rights/Civil Rights and Equity Committee and as a trustee for CWA Local 1180’s benefit funds.

Congratulations to Teesha Foreman!
