Congratulations to our union’s delegates, and to everyone who was nominated and took part in the election.
The CWA’s biennial Convention (August 7 to 8) is key to the governance of our international union and an opportunity to share information and to strategize on matters of mutual concern.
Likewise, The NewsGuild-CWA Sector Conference (August 4 to 5) connects us with other journalists and media workers – fellow union members – at media organizations across North America.
