CROTON-ON-HUDSON, New York (July 1, 2026) – Families Over Billionaires joined local partners, including Empire State Voices, CWA Local 1103, and SEIU 1199 to bring the Who Pays? Bus Tour to Westchester County. Local residents and leaders shared stories about the real-world consequences of President Trump and Rep. Mike Lawler’s choice to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA). Signed into law one year ago this Saturday, the law delivered $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires and large corporations and slashed programs that help working families like Medicaid and SNAP.

Croton-on-Hudson was the third stop on the 17-stop nationwide tour, which started in Portland, ME on June 30th. The tour will hit 13 states before ending on July 16th in Tucson, Arizona. At every stop, local voices and leaders tell the story behind the headlines. Learn more here. CWA D1 Healthcare Workers CWA District 1 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East Senator Pete Harckham

Brothers and Sisters,

On behalf of the Executive Board, we want to take a moment to recognize and honor National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. CWA District 1 Fairfield County Regional Dispatch Center

This week is dedicated to the professionals who serve as the critical first point of contact in emergencies—the calm, steady voices behind every call for help. Their work is often unseen, but never unimportant. Day in and day out, telecommunicators demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and resilience under pressure, ensuring that help is dispatched quickly and efficiently when it matters most.

To our members who serve in these roles: your commitment does not go unnoticed. You are an essential part of the public safety network, and the work you do saves lives, supports first responders, and provides reassurance to those in their most difficult moments.

We are proud to represent you and stand with you. Your dedication reflects the very best of what our union stands for—service, solidarity, and strength.

Please join us in recognizing and thanking all telecommunicators for their invaluable contributions.

In Solidarity,
CWA's Local 1103 Executive Board

Brothers and Sisters,

We are proud to welcome our newest permanent members—a change in employment status made possible by an important, though largely unheralded, provision in the recently ratified agreement.

For many of these members, this transition came just in time. Their temporary status was nearing its end, which would have meant the loss of their jobs. Instead, they now have the stability and security that come with permanent employment.

For our union and our membership, securing and protecting good union jobs remains a top priority. This positive outcome is one of the many reasons the Executive Board supported the agreement.

In solidarity,
CWA’s Local 1103 Executive Board

Brothers and Sisters,

We urge you to vote YES. The contract belongs to the members who work under it, not to outsiders, not to the noise. So here is something very important to think about, or What to Know Before You Vote No, if you are still leaning that way.

This TA belongs to the members who work under this contract every day. Not to outsiders. Is it perfect. No contract is. Not one concession. Only Improvements. Work gained not lost. Jobs gained not lost. Members of 1103 will ratify this TA overwhelmingly because they know it’s in the best interest of their family. Anyone telling you to vote no- ask them what am I getting that’s not already here, if I vote no. Hummida Hummida Hummida
