CWA President Claude Cummings Jr.'s Statement on Election Results: We Must Move Forward, Together [1]
[]
Date: 2024-11
The election is over, the votes have been counted, and Donald Trump has, once again, been elected President of the United States. While this was not the outcome that many CWA members and retirees had worked toward, I am proud of the work we did in support of pro-worker candidates.
Now it is time to re-unite around our shared values. No matter who is in office, our goals are always the same - to use our collective power to protect our rights, to improve our working conditions and give everyone an opportunity to have a union voice on the job. Corporate CEOs are intent on dividing us against each other so they can drive down wages and cut corners on safety to boost profits for big investors. We cannot let that happen.
Just as I was vocal in support of our endorsed candidates during the election, I will not hesitate to speak out when our union or our members are under attack for any reason. I urge every one of you, no matter who you supported in this election, to join me.
This is a time of challenge and transformation for our union and our country. We have faced difficult challenges before. We must move forward, together, as we fight for our families and our country’s future.
