USW Local 1944 Telecommunications Workers Union

USW Local 1944 has completed its transition period as of January 1, 2020. With the USW helping to fund and facilitate, Local 1944 has been provided with an unprecedented amount of training and educational opportunities for our members; providing them with the necessary tools to police the collective agreements, protect their rights and organize for upcoming rounds of bargaining. Local 1944 also now has access to USW’s strategic, legal, and research departments as well as the Strike and Defense Fund. This places the Local in a much better position going forward.

In addition, with the United Steelworkers committing to an initial $1 million to expand Local 1944’s organizing efforts, the Local is searching for new organizing opportunities in an effort to diversify its union and expand its membership while fighting to better the lives of workers in the telecommunications industry as a whole.
