I've had experience as a CWA member and I can you tell you first hand its a weak union that only knows how to collect dues from its members. I think in this instance it will help those looking for stability in their job but you will keep making 16.00 and hour for the rest of your career because they fail at bargaining.
Just my personal opinion and I have much respect for the members because union jobs have unions for a reason. Hard jobs and even harder/hostile work environments.
First your local of the CWA is to blame, people you elected are the people who negotiate contracts, your local president. Your membership as a whole ratifies the new contract.
