New CWA Staff Members Level Up in CWA Staff School

Last month, 19 new CWA staff members graduated from CWA Staff School hosted by the CWA Education Department and the University of Iowa Labor Center. The school provides training to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to serve our union in their new roles. Participants exercised a variety of skills, including strategizing in arbitration, organizing, bargaining, and building activism and mobilization. In addition to the University of Iowa Labor Center educators, participants received training from experienced CWA staff from headquarters, Districts, and Sectors.

CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. spoke with the students on the critical role they will play in the service of our members and on the importance of getting involved in activism work within their communities. Students also heard from CWA Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam, CWA Chief of Staff Sylvia J. Ramos, CWA Organizing Director Tim Dubnau, CWA Human Resources Director Marilyn Klinger, CWA Legislative Political Director Dan Mauer, and CWA General Counsel Matt Holder.
