RIP Monique Williams

Monique Williams was a Customer Sales & Service Representative at Verizon. She died on February 3, 2021 from COVID-19. “Anyone who knew Monique will tell you she was a great person to talk to. If you talked to Monique, you were going to laugh. No matter what you were going through, she would be able to make you smile,” her longtime friend and co-worker LaShawn McClarin said.

Celebrating Black History Month

This February is different than past years in so many ways. One of the many things we’re missing is the annual celebration of Black History Month that CWA members in the Commercial Division do each year. Since that isn’t possible this year, we’re sharing with you a bit of the history of how CWA members in our Local have celebrated in the past, and what we hope we can return to soon.
