Civil Rights and Equity Committee

The Civil Rights and Equity Committee raises awareness for civili and human rights issues that affect our members and communities. 

As a labor union, advocating for equity for all is inherent in our work, and we understand that what helps raise our most marginalized members helps to lift us all. By working together, we take collective action to improve the material well-being of the marginalized among us both in our union and in society at large.

Community Services Committee

This Committee directs the charitable work of the Local and builds connections with the communities where our members live and work.

The Community Services Committee identifies charitable and community services causes, projects, and opportunities for the Local and its members to make a positive difference. 

Education Committee

The Education Committee promotes the education and scholarship opportunities of the Local. 

The Committee develops training for shop stewards, promoting) both internal and external scholarship opportunities for members and their children, and does educational outreach to the public about the services our members provide.

Legislative-Political Action Committee

One of CWA's greatest strengths is legislative and political action to advance our members' interests.

The Legislative-Political Action Committee is a member-driven committee that reviews and recommends endorsement of candidates for elected office, helps directs Local 1036's political campaign support, drives Get Out the Vote efforts, and works in every aspect of the Local's political and legislative program.

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee works on internal organizing, member recognition events, and building union visibility  the workplace. 

With representatives from a cross-section of the Local, we  have a blended committee that reflects membership diversity and brings a variety of experiences to the table.

Next Gen Group

The Next Generation interest group works to develop new union leaders by teaching newer employees about how the
union is a vehicle for building power. 

We achieve this by developing content useful to newer employees in their career. The committee meets virtually to develop content as decided by membership polls, and local-wide NextGen Meetings are held quarterly.

Women's Committee

The Women's Committee advances women's issues within the Local and in the labor movement broadly. 

Activities include supporting International Women's Day building community among members, and other programs.
