A Message to PPAs from CWA Local 1101

As many of you are aware, some members of the Motion Picture Industry have formed the Working in Silence No More Task Force. One of the goals of the task force is to highlight the inequality and injustices the PPAs face on the job. The Union has been in touch and engaged with the task force and agree with their message. We also welcome any support within the industry to improve the working conditions of the PPAs. With that being said, we would also like to highlight the progress the PPAs have fought so hard for, and achieved, through organizing and joining CWA.
