Congratulations, everyone!!!
Special thanks to Victor Jimenez, Dollar Thrifty Customer Service Rep Lead, for being the spokesperson for DTAG.
Last night, as a culmination of our collective efforts, we made history and changed the lives of 10,000 families! The City Council gave unanimous final approval to the $15 min wage for airport and other Denver-contracted workers. Wow.
The Colorado Professional Fire Fighters will be walking with our Brothers and Sisters in Colorado Springs on Saturday March 9th 2019 in support of Ballot Issue #1 for Collective Bargaining. CPFF will provide transportation from the CPFF Event Center (12 Lakeside Lane) at 8:00 AM, with one stop at the Cabela’s Parking Lot in Lone Tree at 8:30 AM.
Corporate CEOs and the wealthiest 1% have spent decades rigging the system to reduce our power. That has made it harder and harder to pass legislation that helps working people and makes a real difference in our lives.
The same corporate interests that fight us at the bargaining table are stacking the rules against us when it comes to political participation.
CWA has 150 members who work at rental car companies at the Denver International Airport. If we stand together, we can win a $15/hr minimum wage for those workers (the majority of whom are currently earning under $15/hr).
PLEASE come out on this upcoming Monday in support of the $15/hr@DIA and for Denver city/county employees.
Colorado and Utah Sisters and Brothers:
ATU Local 1776 in Grand Junction, CO, is heading into their last two days of negotiations with Transdev before a potential March 1 strike. I’m writing to ask that you lend your assistance in two key ways:
1) There are rumors Transdev is considering bringing in strikebreakers from nearby transit systems.
March 4th (Monday) at 5:00 p.m. we need a very strong CWA showing for the $15@DIA vote. This is the big day. City and County Building room 432. We need 15-20 members there! This is a huge moment and any rental car people that register and attend would be paid if they work nights. This will be the crucial vote on the minimum wage fight for the airport.
AT&T and Cricket Wireless members from CWA Locals 7708, 7750, and 7777 gathered in Denver, Colo., last week for the pilot of a new CWA STRONG Steward Training program. The pilot was developed by a group of CWA staff appointed by every district and sector, who reviewed and modified the existing Steward Training.

CITY HALL LOBBY DAY
Come talk to the Mayor and Denver City Council members about the importance of a living wage.
In November, Mayor Hancock proposed an initiative that would raise the minimum wage for all City of Denver employees, including those at DEN Airport, to $15/hour.
