Trump Just Fired a CWAer

[Omaha Steve]

FIGHTING FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE & DEMOCRACY

Trump just fired Jennifer Abruzzo, a former CWA attorney, as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel. The NLRB is the government agency that protects workers’ rights. As the government’s top labor lawyer, Abruzzo held CEOs accountable when they broke the law.
While she was at the NLRB, Abruzzo accomplished a lot to improve workers' lives. She made union certification automatic when workers' unions show majority support and employers interfere in the union election process. She also advocated for increased payouts to workers who were fired for union organizing. Abruzzo has dedicated her career to fighting for workers’ rights and holding employers who violate our rights accountable.

In contrast, during his first term, Trump appointed union-busting lawyer Peter Robb to the position. Robb used his time at the NLRB to make it harder for workers to organize and to give companies more power at the bargaining table. Instead of holding CEOs accountable, he gave them a green light to take advantage of their employees.

Send a message to the White House and tell Trump that firing Jennifer Abruzzo was the wrong choice and he must appoint an NLRB General Counsel who will stand with working people, not CEOs.

4. I worked with a few CWA workers

I was UWUA (Utility Workers Union of America), but we would sometimes run joint trench with Michigan Bell, and they were CWA. Great bunch of workers.
