"In the current fight, the CWA is struggling to keep basic rights for its workers. Health care coverage and the right to a job for today's workers, as well as continued health care benefits and pensions for those who have retired, are not out of reach except for the greed of the executives and bosses. During a capitalist crisis, or in other times when the bosses and Wall Street seek to enrich themselves by weakening unions, they will promote anti-union propaganda, claiming that the unions are the problem-that unions are greedy or corrupt if the members don't agree to cuts in pay, health care coverage, retirement benefits and more. The struggle of the CWA members at AT&T affects all workers. Health care is a right that has been won in struggle. Yet it is increasingly under attack by Wall Street. The only way to defend these rights is through organizing. All workers have a stake in defending the CWA workers and should stand in solidarity with them."
