Remembering the CWA Heroes of September 11

Nineteen years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 we remember the CWA members who died on that terrible day. We salute the thousands of fellow CWA members who worked to rebuild and restore networks and services for months afterward. We recognize the many CWA members who currently suffer from the illnesses they got from working at Ground Zero, and the members who lost their lives to those illnesses in the years since. Many of those workers are and were members of Local 1101. We are grateful for your work and your sacrifice, and we will never forget what you gave and what you did.

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.

Wishing all our members a safe and happy Labor Day

CWA Local 1101 and New York State Nurses Association members joined together outside Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx on Tuesday. The action is one of many across New York State this week demanding that New York raise revenue and fund our healthcare centers. Our healthcare centers need adequate funding to protect the health and safety of the workers and the patients they care for.

The last five months have been unprecedented in many ways. We’ve faced challenges that might have been unimaginable a year ago and millions of Americans — including many of our members — are struggling with layoffs and furloughs and the fear of what comes next.
