LaborFamilyNews

The LaborFamilyNews is an excellent source of information for working families.  It is the newsletter of the Labor Project for Working Families.  The Labor Project partners with unions to advocate for family friendly workplaces because no one should have to choose between work and family.

Like CWA, the Labor Project envisions a world in which all workers have time and resources to care for themselves and their families.

Founded in 1992, the Labor Project is a national non-profit organization that educates and empowers unions to organize, bargain and advocate for family friendly workplaces. We build broad based coalitions that unite labor, community and advocacy groups to advance policies that put families first.

CWA 9000 is proud to support the Labor Project for Working Families.

Annual Picnic Fun!

We held our 2010 Annual Summer Picnic on Sunday, August 15.  Hundreds of CWA family members turned out for a beautiful day of fun, solidarity and great food.

There were games and activities for kids of all ages, including egg and water balloon toss, sack races, swimming, face painting and much more.

We also held a door prize raffle every half hour.  Ten lucky members walked away with some terrific prizes donated by union vendors including Dr. David Abri with Aesthetic Dentistry, Coghlan Financial Group, and American Income Life.

 

This year’s picnic was held at Veterans Park in Culver City.  The venue was changed from Griffith Park due to a drastic increase in the fee for reserving picnic tables.  Vet’s Park provided plenty of tables and parking, plus access to a jungle gym and swimming pool for the kids.
