CWA Local 1033 is the labor union that represents and advocates on behalf of 5,000 public workers of Mercer County in the state of New Jersey. We are an organized group of workers who unite to make decisions about conditions affecting their work. CWA Local 1033 strives to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to our nation.
As a union, our objectives are to implement programs that improve the quality of workers’ rights, their wages and the working environments regarding the terms and conditions of their employment. In addition our Union disseminates information for the purpose of uplifting the economic and social conditions of our members.
Politically, CWA Local 1033 is instrumental in the support of legislation that seeks to improve the status of the Union as a whole. This agenda is advanced through the enactment of laws that are in the best interest of our membership, our families and our communities.
Join CWA Local 1033 as a Full Dues Member by filling out your Membership Card to stand in solidarity with your union Brothers and Sisters as we are STRONGER TOGETHER.
What We Can Do:
- Know our rights. Read and familiarize ourselves with our union contract so we know our rights. Contact your Shop Steward if we don’t understand something.
- Know what your Weingarten Rights are and when to use them.
- Insist on fair treatment. If we have a dispute with management, we should let our steward know. CWA may already have addressed the same or similar issue.
- Help others. When a coworker has a problem with management and needs support, we back them up. Get involved whenever stewards need help in mobilizing.
- Help maintain our standard of living. During contract negotiations, provide input on issues and participate in mobilization activities to support our bargaining committee.
- Become a CWA Shop Steward, Committee Member, Activist or Volunteer. We encourage members to join our stewards’ or mobilizers’ network. If interested, please contact us.
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
In addition to the hard work we do in representing and advocating for our members, CWA Local 1033 is proud to offer exclusive savings for our Members.
