Dear Union Family,
I’m running for re-election. For the past 4 years, I have served as the CWA Vice President of the Public, Healthcare and Education Workers Sector and I seek to continue the progress we have made. We have faced unprecedented challenges and been attacked on all sides: from the pandemic and anti-union legislation, to austerity cuts and Wall Street’s greed, while experiencing unprecedented attacks on our democracy. Yet, we have grown stronger and have been united in a powerful way.
My number one objective for this office was to bring PHEW into the national strategy by working closely with national leadership and staff. Today, the PHEW sector has grown to almost 130,000 members nationwide–and we are growing every single day. That can only have been done with collaboration and hard work across Locals, Districts and in conjunction with CWA Headquarters.
Despite the odds, the CWA PHEW Sector has remained strong, and we have developed a dynamic structure for connecting, educating and mobilizing across the country. In this extraordinarily challenging and unique time of crisis, we seized the opportunities to mobilize, organize, and take action together. We won. We know the attacks won’t stop. I know you know what we’re up against. And I know you know what we can do, when we stand in unity.
Let’s keep fighting. Because when we fight, we win!
I am asking for your support, and for your vote, to keep leading for every member of our sector. Join me.
In solidarity,
Margaret Cook
for CWA, Vice President, Public, Healthcare and Education Workers Sector
