Join CWA Local 1040!

Joining the union means you’re not facing your employer alone! 

Union members bargain together for fair pay, strong benefits, and safe, respectful working conditions. Instead of being “at-will,” your job is protected by a legally binding contract that spells out your rights on the job. These contracts often include guaranteed wage increases, paid vacation and sick time, and retirement benefits. Union membership brings stability, fairness, and a real process if issues come up at work. Simply put, it pays to be a union.

Union members also get additional benefits, such as discounts on entertainment, legal and financial help, and savings on select services. 

Union members are eligible for Union Plus, which offers exclusive discounts and services to union households. These benefits give you value at work and at home.

Being in a union also means having a voice. Members can attend local union meetings to stay informed, raise concerns, and help shape priorities. You have the right to vote in union elections for your local leadership and to vote on contracts that impact your workplace. 

Unions are built on democracy—and your participation helps make us stronger.
