Why we chose CWA

Why CWA? 

We are proud to affiliate Boulder County Employees Union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) for many reasons:

• CWA's strong national history and culture as a worker-led, democratic union.
• CWA has a demonstrated record of support for our independent Boulder County union efforts.
• CWA is one of the largest public sector unions in Colorado and has a proven record in the fight for Colorado public sector workers’ rights.

How we chose to affiliate with CWA: 

• Our Boulder County organizing committee debated and discussed the possibilities of organizing independently or affiliating with a national union.
• We met with and communicated with AFSCME and CWA and we weighed the pros and cons of each organization.
• Our organizing committee took a unanimous vote in June 2023.
