• Tower Climbers Organizing Update [telecom]

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 6 13:19:41 2022
    On May 1, International Workers' Day, founding members of the Tower
    Climbers Union (TCU)/CWA held a national town hall to share their
    vision for the future and developments in their efforts to improve
    conditions and standards in the wireless industry. During this
    historic, first of its kind event members discussed topics impacting
    workers including work/life balance, health and safety, industry
    pricing and wages, working conditions, and more.

    "One of the issues in our industry is the culture and the things that
    are taught to us young. Things like working from sunup to sundown and
    if you leave early you feel this guilt," said tower climber and
    TCU/CWA East Coast Organizer Carl Milloy. "There is always this saying
    in our industry: 'either you have all the time and no money, or all
    the money and no time.' I think it's long past due that we stand
    together and we make the changes needed."
