2009 Proceedings Proceedings and Index of the 71st Annual Convention Communications Workers of America Hilton Washington Hotel Washington, D.C. June 22-24, 2009 2 MONDAY MORNING SESSION June 22, 2009 The 71st Annual Convention of the Communications Workers of America, meeting June 22 thru 24, 2009, at the Hilton Washington Hotel, Washington, D.C., convened at 9:00 a.m., Michael Harris, Executive Vice President, CWA Local 2336, Temporary Chair, presiding. TEMPORARY CHAIR MICHAEL HARRIS (Local 2336): Good morning, delegates and guests. We have a very full agenda this morning, so please take your seats. I ask all delegates to take their seats so we can begin. ... Brief pause while the delegates were seated ... TEMPORARY CHAIR HARRIS: Good morning, delegates and guests. Welcome to your nation's capital. We have a very full schedule this morning, so please take your seats. Let's all take our seats so we can begin on time. Thank you. We have very important business to take up this week, here and on Capitol Hill. So, again, I ask that everyone be seated so that we can get underway. The official clock here in Washington, D.C., indicates that it's 9:00 a.m. I ask everyone to be seated as I call the 71st Annual Convention of the Communications Workers of America to order. (Cheers and applause) 3 I am Michael B. Harris, President of CWA Local 2336, right here in Washington, D.C. My local represents more than 1,200 members and retirees in telecom, charitable and social programs, a union insurance company, the Psychiatric Institute of Washington, and even a group of technicians who work for the Screen Actors Guild. Like many CWA locals, we are a diverse group of workers. I was elected President last year and am so proud of the work we do every day to make things better for our CWA families and all working families in the Metropolitan area. (Applause) It is an honor to serve as Temporary Chair and to welcome you to Washington, D.C. For the first time in 15 years, we have a worker-friendly House and Senate, and an Administration that is proud to stand with working Americans. That makes all the difference. (Applause) On behalf of Local 2336 and all of CWA District 2, I welcome you to Washington, D.C., and the 71st Convention of the Communications Workers of America. (Applause) As is our practice, we will open our Convention with a prayer. It's my privilege to call on Reverend Janet Vincent of St. Columba's Episcopal Church of Washington for today's invocation. Reverend Vincent has been a valued member of our community since moving here from her White Plains, New York, parish in October 2006. She was one of the pastors who spent many months comforting victims' 4 families and rescuers at Ground Zero after the September 11th attack. Please join me in welcoming Reverend Vincent. (Applause) REVEREND JANET VINCENT (St. Columba's Episcopal Church of Washington): Good morning, everyone. It's wonderful to be here and to see all of your bright faces in Washington, D.C. I would like to thank Yvette Herrera for inviting me to do the invocation this morning. I want to ask the group of people whose first word in your organization's name is "Communications" to do the nearly impossible. I'm going to invite you to hold one full minute of silence with me, such a silence that we can hear a pin drop in this room. So if you will agree to do that with me, we will hold that minute. And within that minute we will allow some space for all of us to be fully present to this room, to be fully present to each other, to be fully present to the God who created us and sustains us in our life and in our work. So if you would join me, we will begin that minute right now. ... The delegates observed one minute of silence ... REVEREND VINCENT: Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects -- for good or evil -- all other lives. So guide us in the work we do that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good. And as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us 5 mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers and arouse our concern for those who are out of work. May the silence we shared this morning open our imaginations, fuel our passions, and strengthen our resolve to establish justice for all. With this prayer and in these meetings, may God's Holy Name be blessed. Amen. God bless you all and have a wonderful time. (Applause) TEMPORARY CHAIR HARRIS: Thank you, Reverend Vincent. Now we would like to have everyone stand for the presentation of the Colors. The Colors today are being presented by CWA members Jose G. Ortega, Vice President of UPAGRA, carrying the Puerto Rican flag; Chris Carolan, President TNG-CWA Local 30223, carrying the Canadian flag; and Michael Vivirito, President of CWA Retired Members' Council District 2 and a veteran of the U.S. Naval Reserve, carrying an American flag. Following the presentation of the Colors will be the singing of the National Anthems of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. They will be sung in that order by Jeanette J. Spoor, President, Retired Members Chapter 1103; Debbie Thomas, a retiree of the TNG-CWA; and Luis Quintana, Secretary-Treasurer of UPAGRA in Puerto Rico, TNG- CWA Local 33225. 6 ... The delegates arose for the presentation of the Colors, followed by the singing of the National Anthems of The United States, Canada and Puerto Rico... (Applause and cheers) TEMPORARY CHAIR HARRIS: Thank you, Jeanette, Debbie, and Luis. And please join me in giving another round of applause for our talented singers. (Applause and cheers) Now it is my honor to introduce one of Washington's great labor leaders, a man I have had the pleasure of working with during his long tenure as President of the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO. Josh Williams is a longtime union activist and serves on too many councils and boards to count. His extraordinary career includes being an election observer in South Africa. Please help me give an enthusiastic welcome to Metropolitan Washington Council President, Josh Williams. (Applause) JOSLYN "JOSH" WILLIAMS (President, Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO): Thank you very much, Mike Harris. It is just so great and exciting to look across this hall. As Mike said, I am President of Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO, and also the 2nd Vice President of the Maryland State and District of Columbia AFL-CIO. My state fed president cannot be here this morning, and he has asked me to also bring greetings on behalf of Maryland State and the 7 District of Columbia AFL-CIO. So on behalf of those two organizations, I want to say to each and every one of you: Welcome to Liberation City. (Applause) I want to thank you for everything that you did to liberate the nation's capital. For the past eight years, it has been under a hostile force, more hostile than the British who invaded Washington in 1812. But because of your efforts across this country, I can now really say to you that I welcome you to your nation's capital, the capital that you helped in November to set free. So brothers and sisters, give yourselves a hand. (Applause) I am here this morning because I feel really connected to CWA in more ways than one. And let me just simply say, for those of you who keep asking me what's wrong with my right arm, let me set the record straight. President Cohen, I decided to hire a former staff member of yours, Gwend Johnson. And what you forgot to tell me is that Gwend Johnson is one of the architects of arm-twisting. (Laughter) So I am here as an example that you do not say "no" to Gwend Johnson, but you guys knew that. I had to learn it the hard way. (Applause) I am also here-- and I know that you are going to be here for a long period of time and that you are here to really work-- but let me also say to you, just find some time to really enjoy your nation's capital. Spend some money and help the stimulus of the nation's capital. Also, 8 as you work let us not forget that there is also a lot of work to be done-- and I think you will be hearing about that from your President-- but let me take this opportunity to make a plea to you and to President Cohen, one of, in my opinion, the better leaders of an ailing labor movement. Yes, go ahead give him a hand. (Applause) Let me begin by asking a question. How many of you here are members of State Feds and Central Labor Council; that is, your local belongs to State Feds and Central Labor Council. ... Many delegates raised their hands ... BROTHER WILLIAMS: That is an excellent, excellent percentage. Let me share with you a fact. There are three Internationals that have the highest percentage of affiliation in the AFL-CIO, and those three Internationals are CWA, AFT and AFSCME. Here in the nation's capital and in Maryland, and D.C., every one of your locals belongs to State Feds and Central Labor Councils. I am here to make a plea to you.

  • 6 What's Wrong with the Employee Free Choice Act?
    6 What’s Wrong with the Employee Free Choice Act? Richard A. Epstein he first one hundred days of the Obama administration have been marked by its determination to pass the revolu- T tionary Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which was introduced in Congress on March 10, 2009. As of this writing, it looks as though the bill will not pass this year, given the unanimous Republican opposition to it in the Senate. But the issue is likely to be revived again during the Obama presidency, as it has been before, so it is important to examine its provisions because it raises important issues of principle. In addition, it has gathered an impressive level of political and intellectual support. In particular, the EFCA has received the endorsement of the Democratic National Convention Platform Committee of prominent economists, under the aegis of the Economic Policy Institute, and of President Obama and Vice President Biden. In a recent congressional hearing before the 110th Congress on February 8, the EFCA was defended as the means to return to the management-labor balance under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (the NLRA, in its original form is commonly referred to as the Wagner Act), said to be the surest way to revive the fortunes of a shrinking middle class. The reality, however, is otherwise. The EFCA would hamper the efficiency of labor markets in ways that make the road to economic 89 90 REACTING TO THE SPENDING SPREE recovery far steeper than necessary. Generally, it will severely hurt the very persons whom it intends to help.

  • Senate Democrats Progress on EFCA Compromise by Jay P
    Senate Democrats Progress on EFCA Compromise by Jay P. Krupin and Steven Swirsky July 2009 The past several days have brought potentially significant developments with respect to Senate Democrats’ efforts to enact labor law reform and bring the Employee Free Choice Act to a vote on the Senate floor. Reports have circulated that a consensus has begun to emerge among Senate Democrats for a bill that would remove EFCA’s controversial provisions eliminating secret ballot elections where a union has obtained signatures from more than 50 percent of the employees in the proposed bargaining unit, and instead would provide for significantly faster NLRB-conducted elections, within five to ten days of the filing of a representation petition. The bill would also provide for greater access to employees and to employer property during the campaign period. Presently, NLRB-conducted elections are typically held an average of 45 days after the union files a petition. Along with faster elections, the reported compromise would include increased access by unions to employer premises to campaign among employees, as well as increased restrictions on employer campaign rights. EFCA’s other most controversial component, compulsory binding arbitration of the economic and other terms of initial collective bargaining agreements where the parties do not quickly reach agreement, is reported to remain a part of the compromise bill. While the Democrats reached 60 votes in the Senate when Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat and Al Franken was finally declared the victor over Norm Coleman in Minnesota, the fact is that there remain a substantial block of Democratic senators who have expressed doubt about EFCA’s card check language and who have indicated that they are not prepared to support a bill that would eliminate secret ballot elections.

  • Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model
    CHAPTER 9 Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model DANIEL MARSCHALL Ellen Scully-Russ The George Washington University In their early synthesis of the features shared by joint training programs, Ferman, Hoyman and Cutcher-Gershenfeld (1990) argued that such programs, as they emerged from the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, represented a distinctive innovation in worker training and career development with the potential to become “a stable and significant domain” in labor–management relations. The authors described joint training programs as an emerging set of institutional arrangements that included large-scale, negotiated, and jointly administered trust funds providing technical training, personal development, and access to education for union members. Though there were many examples of joint union–manage- ment training activity prior to the appearance of the industrial joint training program model, earlier programs were narrowly focused on sin- gle-issue training or time-bounded training efforts. In contrast, the new model spanned many areas of training activity, covered divergent popu- lations of workers and managers, and incorporated service delivery strategies guided by a philosophy of worker involvement and jointly determined decision making. Among other research implications, the authors identified the classification of joint training activities as a chal- lenge for understanding the structural tendencies within these young organizations. Notably, the authors speculated that the emergence of these innovative joint

    Subjugation 4 Tribulation by Fel (aka James Galloway) ToC 1 To: Title ToC 2 Chapter 1 Koira, 18 Toraa, 4401, Orthodox Calendar Wednesday, 28 January 2014, Terran Standard Calendar Koira, 18 Toraa, year 1327 of the 97th Generation, Karinne Historical Reference Calendar Foxwood East, Karsa, Karis Amber was starting to make a nuisance of herself. There was just something intrinsically, fundamentally wrong about an insufferably cute animal that was smart enough to know that it was insufferably cute, and therefore exploited that insufferable cuteness with almost ruthless impunity. In the 18 days since she’d arrived in their house, she’d quickly learned that she could do virtually anything and get away with it, because she was, quite literally, too cute to punish. Fortunately, thus far she had yet to attempt anything truly criminal, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t abuse her cuteness. One of the ways she was abusing it was just what she was doing now, licking his ear when he was trying to sleep. Her tiny little tongue was surprisingly hot, and it startled him awake. “Amber!” he grunted incoherently. “I’m trying to sleep!” She gave one of her little squeaking yips, not quite a bark but somewhat similar to it, and jumped up onto his shoulder. She didn’t even weigh three pounds, she was so small, but her little claws were like needles as they kneaded into his shoulder. He groaned in frustration and swatted lightly in her general direction, but the little bundle of fur was not impressed by his attempts to shoo her away.

  • The Employee Free Choice Act: the Biggest Change in Labor Law in 60 Years by Robert Quinn and John Leschak
    LABOR LAW REGIONAL LABOR REVIEW, Fall 2009 The Employee Free Choice Act: The Biggest Change in Labor Law in 60 Years by Robert Quinn and John Leschak One of the most contentious proposals of the 2008 Presidential campaign and of the current Congressional season in Washington is the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Supported by President Obama and opposed by Senator John McCain and most other Republicans, EFCA would be the most significant change to federal labor law in over sixty years. First, EFCA would allow the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) to certify a union without an election if a majority of workers voluntarily sign cards authorizing a union to represent them (this provision is also known as “card check”). Second, EFCA would impose new penalties on employers who violate workers’ rights during initial organizing campaigns. And third, EFCA would permit bargaining disputes between an employer and union to be decided by arbitration during first-time contract negotiations. However, several powerful groups are opposed to any change. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched a vociferous campaign against EFCA’s “Card Check” provision, which they claim will lead to intimidation and coercion in the workplace.1 Congressional Republicans have also been outspoken opponents of card check. Last February, Republican Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Mike Enzi (Wyo.) introduced the Secret Ballot Protection Act, S. 478. This bill would make it illegal for an employer to voluntarily recognize a union through card check and would require NLRB elections. While many are opposed to EFCA, it cannot be denied that reform is needed.
