   Close to 250 CWA members from across the union gathered for the CWA   
   Wireless Workers Conference, held in person last week for the first   
   time in four years in Providence, R.I. They participated in workshops   
   and plenary sessions, shared ideas and strategized for the future,   
   held solidarity actions, and heard from CWA leaders, elected   
   officials, and other guest speakers.   
      
   Speaking to participants about the need for our union to adapt to the   
   ever-changing industry, CWA President Chris Shelton said, ”Since the   
   early days of wireless, we have been at the forefront of organizing,   
   representing, and fighting for workers to build a stronger, more   
   powerful union.” He referenced the growing group of workers in the   
   wireless industry who are taking collective action and joining CWA,   
   including tower climbers, who for the first time ever participated in   
   the conference. “By forming a union with CWA, tower climbers are   
   beating the odds, just like they beat the odds each time they go out   
   on a job and return home safely,” said Shelton. He also emphasized the   
   need to consistently mobilize to win strong contracts that improve   
   standards for all workers.
