Subject: CWA Activists in Florida Meet with Congressman Charlie
Crist
Last week, CWA legislative and political activists in Florida met with
Congressman Charlie Crist in his Tampa area district office to thank
him for his support for the Protect the Right to Organize (PRO)
Act. They also discussed Congressman Crist's run for governor, the
importance of ensuring that broadband expansion plans protect workers'
rights, the need for call center legislation to keep good jobs in
Florida, and a commitment to veto union busting legislation that
targets public sector workers. CWA legislative and political activists
in Florida will continue to communicate with all candidates in the
upcoming election to make sure working people's issues are heard.
