The triangle symbolizes the three major programs of the union: Representation, Organizing, and Community/Political Action. None can stand alone. If the triangle is broken on any side, sooner or later it will be broken on every side. CWA's founding president, Joseph Beirne, called this the "triple threat.

 Celebrate Liberty July 4th! IT’S YOUR CHOICE It is your choice who you vote for when you stand at the voting machine on Election Day. I would like you to take a minute and think about where and from whom you are receiving information on the candidates and issues. Is it the television advertisements from the candidates and organizations set up to support or oppose a particular candidate or issue? Every election cycle I write about how we, all unions in the state affiliated with the AFL-CIO, interview and research the candidates and issues. We make recommendations/endorsements based on that research and the candidates past voting record, if it is an incumbent. Do we sometimes get snookered? The answer is yes. “Stuff Happens” and politicians are good at snookering people. In Unity, Cheryl Comeau Partnership Opportunities At this time I would like to thank our new Partnership rep. Mike Bibby. Mike recently went to Atlanta and completed Partnership training and has already begun an electronics class that will run from July to mid-August. There has also been enough interest shown to conduct a Digital/ Computer (qualifies for E.T.) course. There is limited space left in both, please contact Mike 321-537-4739 or call the hall to express your interest in these or any other courses (please leave work # and ATTUID). You can also go online to www.cwalocal3101.org. The numerous opportunities presented through Partnership are another seldom used resource that provides the opportunity for furthering your education. Ranging from online courses, cd-roms, college courses, and now textbooks, there is something there for everyone. It is an untapped resource for so many of us. In the near future Mike will be visiting the crews and explaining some of these opportunities. Please take advantage of these programs they could prove invaluable in these uncertain times. At bargaining, Partnership funds are set aside and counted towards employee labor costs. When these funds go unused the company sticks it back in their pockets and we have given back enough already! Thanks again to Mike for stepping up and helping this membership take advantage of a hard bargained benefit. In Unity, Eric ELECTRONICS CLASS We are seeking participants for an electronics class (possibly even others) to be held as soon as we have the minimum number of participants. If you are interested please call the Hall and leave your name and phone number. You will be contacted to get specific information and informed of a date, time, and location. Thanks, Partnership What AT&T Wanted Take a look what bargaining saved. ARTICLES Article By Les Evans Failure To Plan Strike Speech The Future Poorest First Shots Fired Are You Kidding Me!
