Letter from Local 1101 President Keith Purce
On behalf of the members of CWA Local 1101, we are pleased to welcome you to our union. By joining Local 1101 you have decided to make a better life for yourself, both on and off the job, as well as a better life for your family. The union exists to help us do just that. It is a tool that helps workers get treated fairly.
We’re all very proud of our record at Local 1101. We’re a union that has always encouraged members to get involved: attend meetings, join committees, vote on contracts, participate in workplace actions, and speak out on workplace issues.
A union is its members. The more members participate, the stronger we will be and the more we will be able to accomplish in bargaining, and implement improvements in our workplace.
Again, welcome! We are proud to have you with us. And we hope you will help us build a strong union that contributes to making things better for our members and for working people overall.
In Solidarity,
Keith Purce, President CWA Local 1101
