CWA's Frank Mathews on District 4 Wins and Remembering Easterlin
Frank Mathews says labor does not want an unlevel playing field, because a field tilted one way eventually swings back. On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, Mathews, administrative director of CWA District 4, discusses what he says labor-friendly wins in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin mean for the next two years, how CWA reached each member nine times, what broken supermajorities and new trifectas mean for state governments and what he expects labor to push in affordability, healthcare and Buy American measures. He also remembers Barbara Easterling, the longtime CWA leader who he says broke glass ceilings. Visit cwad4.org for more.
