CWA Executive Board Endorses Kamala Harris
On July 22, 2024 following President Biden's announcement that he will no longer be seeking reelection, the CWA Executive Board voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris's candidacy for the 2024-2028 presidential term. In their resolution they write, "Kamala Harris has played a key role in making this one of the most pro-union, pro-worker administrations in the history of this country. She has chaired the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, which has identified dozens of different policy areas that the Administration has used to strengthen rights of workers to organize and bargain and to ensure that workers earn a decent day’s pay for a decent day’s work."
President Claude Cummings echoed the sentiments of the E-Board in his announcement, citing Harris's track record as a pro-labor Senator and Attorney General of California, "She was likewise a proud original co-sponsor of legislation like the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. Even before she served as Senator, Harris fought to protect workers as Attorney General of the state of California. In that role, she signed a landmark agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor to strengthen monitoring and enforcement against wage theft."
