CWA Local 1170’s legacy was on full display at last night's United Way of Greater Rochester Annual Labor Recognition Dinner. Two of the annual awards, The Rich Downey Heart of Gold and Robert J. Flavin Community Service Award are presented based on the Legacy of CWA Local 1170 member Richard Downey and legendary former President Robert J. Flavin. Their passion and community service have been memorialized in annual awards. Rich lead the workplace campaign for years at 1170 and his enthusiasm and passion have been passed down to our workplace campaign coordinators Fritz Amrhein, Bill Netchke, Diane Holloway, Jarounda Gamble, Demiah Smith and the dozens of volunteers who’ve helped over the years.
CWA 1170 is recognized frequently as a top workplace campaign in the Rochester Community. Bob Flavin's passion for his community and his ability to galvanize participation from labor unions to meet the needs of the community have been memorialized as well. Bob was truly supportive of the non profit cancer action as it touched his family with the passing of his son Danny at a young age from cancer.
Our current President John Pusloskie is also a leader in the Labor movement's participation with the United Way serving on the Executive Board for fourteen years and his opening remarks every year hit home to encourage participation and rally union support to assist the most vulnerable in our community. Congratulations to the following who were recognized as the annual winners.

Richard M. Downey Heart of Gold Winner:
Sister Kendall Bell from the IUE-CWA

Robert J. Flavin Community Service Award Winner:
Tracey Harrison Local 1199 SEIU

Labor Legacy Award:

This agreement reflects the hard work of the bargaining committee and the solidarity of the members. Congratulations on a great contract.

CWA members have voted to ratify the new four-year agreement covering AT&T Mobility workers under the Orange contract!

Great contracts are not just won at the bargaining table; they are won on the shop floor through CWA members standing together to fight for a strong agreement. Congratulations on your new contract!

The new contract offers a benefits package that is the best at AT&T and wage increases that are the best in the industry. The contract provides new job security provisions, new FirstNet work, call center scheduling improvements, and much more.

The stronger our union, the stronger our contracts will be in the future.

When we fight, we win!
