   On Monday, call center workers at federal contractor Maximus, who   
   answer Medicare and Affordable Care Act marketplace lines, went on   
   strike at four different call centers in Bogalusa, La.; London, Ky,;   
   Chester, Va.; and Hattiesburg, Miss. The Maximus call center workers,   
   who are organizing to form a union with CWA, went on strike to protest   
   poor working conditions, including unfair attendance and restrictive   
   bathroom break policies.   
      
   In conjunction with the strike, workers across the country hosted a   
   virtual town hall to discuss the impacts of Maximus’ policies and   
   practices on its workforce and steps the company must take to ensure   
   justice and fairness for its employees. Labor leaders, elected   
   officials, and community allies, including CWA Secretary-Treasurer   
   Sara Steffens, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Rev. William Barber,   
   Rep. Don McEachin (D-Va.), and Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.), participated   
   in the town hall in support of the workers. Watch the recording of the   
   virtual town hall here (link on webpage - Mod).
