   Veterans Day statement from CWA President Chris Shelton   
      
   This Veterans Day, I proudly salute the thousands of CWA member and   
   retiree military veterans and their families for their service and   
   sacrifice. Our veterans are a source of strength for our union and the   
   labor movement. Even through the difficulties of the last year and a   
   half, our veterans have continued to step up as activists, organizers   
   and leaders in our union and beyond to meet the challenges we have   
   been faced with and ensure the progress of the working class. Since   
   the launch of the CWA Veterans for Social Change program almost two   
   years ago, CWA has been organizing a broad base of CWA activists who   
   are veterans and active duty service members to build power and   
   strengthen our union by advocating for issues that impact other   
   veterans and working families. In addition to advocating for   
   pro-worker legislation like the PRO Act, participating in community   
   service and advocacy, standing up for Black lives, and organizing   
   other veterans in their community, CWA veterans who have taken part in   
   this program were instrumental in securing key wins for working people   
   in the 2020 elections.
