Organizing Update: PPMWS-CWA Local 14827

West Penn Printing employees voted 26-21 to join CWA Local 14827. The company mounted a vehement anti-union campaign, hiring an expensive "anti-union persuader" and using scare tactics on workers whose only pay raises have come in the form of mandated minimum wage increases. But house calls, informational leafleting and organizing meetings paid off with a win. This effort came out of the PPMWS Organizing Cooperative effort, where they have placed full-time local organizers in four regions of the sector.
