CWA 7250 members from AT&T, Activision, DirecTV, Sassafras, and CWA Staff registered there response to the question "WHO WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE UNIONS SUPPORT IN THE 2024 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?" with the following results:

 

 

 

While not as many of our members participated as we would have liked (just over 15% in a short window), we believe this is a meaningful sample of our Local membership's preferences. We were also not able to host a Town-Hall Zoom, as we had originally planned, due to scheduling conflicts of members willing to present for their preferences

 

The Local's Executive Board discussed the results and unanimously voted not to endorse any candidate, but instead to inform the CWA Minnesota State Council's political coordinator of the results, and allow the State Council to recruit volunteers from CWA 7250's membership for the Fall Campaign. 

 

Any Local member that is interested in participating in campaigns for the national union's endorsed candidates can contact the CWA MN State Council here: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

No CWA Local 7250 funds from dues will be used for electoral campaigns.

 

We believe our modest efforts at conducting a member-driven democratic decision-making process for choosing which candidates the union should (or shouldn't) support can serve as a positive counterexample to a process where only the highest leaders in the union make a decision. We believe that decision-making in the Union at the Local, State, District, and International levels should be bottom-up - not top-down.

 

We plan to share our example with State, District, Sector,and International leadership - and encourage the Union to welcome and encourage democratic debate and decision-making.

 

 

Thanks to all who participated - we appreciate everyone's contribution to this effort. Please get in touch if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you'd like to share.

 

Solidarity Forever!
