Pittsburgh, Penn. – The Communications Workers of America (CWA) – during the Union’s 80th Convention that was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, took on the Trump Administration on two fronts:
The CWA warned of the dangers he poses to Democracy at home and Union Leaders challenged his support for Israel’s Netanyahu regime by calling upon the U.S. to recognize Palestine.
President Donald Trump and his corporate backers are a giant threat to the future of U.S. Democracy, endangering an independent judiciary, a free press, a responsive Congress, and private institutions, CWA President Claude Cummings declared.
“We once again find ourselves in the age of robber barons who have captured and corrupted our government,” Cummings told the Convention’s 879 delegates and hundreds of alternates and guests. “We are seeing the rise of an authoritarian regime.”
Cummings’s speech is in line with that of other Union Leaders, who have become increasingly caustic about Trump’s fascistic actions.
Labor’s fightback, backed by the CWA, now includes mass mobilization for marches and demonstrations on Labor Day.
