Wishing all our members a safe and happy Labor Day

On behalf of the Executive Board of Local 1101 I’d like to wish all our members a safe and happy Labor Day. It has been a rough year. We have lost beloved members, friends, and family to COVID. Many of our lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic. We have members who are working in completely different situations than they’re used to, and members who have been furloughed or laid off.  We had all hoped to be in a different place by now in terms of COVID. You have shown great resilience and perseverance throughout this crisis and we are so proud of our members.

It has never been clearer how important it is to have a union than right now. We are grateful to be part of such a strong national union, and to be part of such a great Local. We’re excited to have 1105 members in our Local, and to welcome some new bargaining units. We look forward to meeting all of you in person once that’s possible.

One of the things we value most as Board members is traveling to different work locations and seeing members face-to-face, something we have not been able to do. We have found new ways to be in touch with members, and encourage you to call your Steward, Chief Steward or Business Agent with any questions or concerns you have. Both local offices remain open and you can call anytime.

Happy Labor Day to you all. We hope you get to enjoy time with family and friends. Stay safe.

Keith Purce, President

CWA Local 1101
