Statement by CWA Vice President Ed Mooney
Hatred, racism and bigotry have no place in our nation. We’ve said these words too many times before. Clearly our nation has a lot of work to do to end the ugly actions and vile rhetoric of the white supremacists who filled the streets of Charlottesville, Va. , this weekend.
It is with great sadness in our hearts that we inform you of the passing of Danny Moss. Danny was a Steward for Local 2222 and a Verizon Technician out of the Herndon Garage.
A memorial will be held to celebrate the life of Danny Moss and will be held at O’Sullivan’s Pub in Herndon, Saturday, June 17th at 3:00pm.
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) today announced their support of Tom Perriello’s campaign for Governor of Virginia.
“When our members at AT&T recently went out on strike, Tom Perriello was the only candidate for Governor to call and ask how he could help,” said Richard Hatch, President of the CWA Virginia State Council and Local 2201 in Richmond.
