    Supporting Pro-Worker Candidates in Colorado

    Ahead of the upcoming 2022 primary elections on June 28, the CWA State
    Council for Colorado and Wyoming has released its endorsement list of pro-worker candidates. The list includes candidates who have gone
    through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by the State Council,
    made up of CWA local leaders, in partnership with the Colorado AFL-CIO
    and regional affiliated bodies. "Our local unions are building
    independent worker power. We work for workers, not for political
    parties. Elections matter. The right elected leaders can set the stage
    for us to win organizing victories, protect our safety and security on
    the job, and pass policies like paid sick leave and whistleblower
    protections for all workers," reads the letter by the State Council
    announcing the endorsements.

    *Apple Workers Speak to Members of the Congressional Labor Caucus About
    Their Organizing Journey, Fight Against Union-Busting*

    Apple workers and CWA members Michael Forsythe and Kirsten Civick met
    with members of the Congressional Labor Caucus to share their
    experiences as members of the organizing committee during their campaign
    to form a union at Apple. Last October, their store became the second
    certified union at Apple. While the victory was rewarding, Forsythe
    shared with the members of the Congressional Labor Caucus that
    "management made it a more hostile, intimidating, and divisive place
    than you could even imagine." "Our workplace has been flooded with raw
    sewage multiple times and my coworkers and I were responsible for
    cleaning up messes without any hazard gear," Civick added, "I never saw
    myself becoming a part of a union organizing effort, but my years at
    Apple have shown me that all workers, no matter what sector, face
    injustice in the workplace and deserve a union to make their working
    conditions better."
