FCC Commissioner Adelstein Addresses 2008 NABET-CWA Conference Thursday.
A life-long public servant, Jonathan S. Adelstein has dedicated his career to fighting for the public interest. As a Commissioner, his approach is guided by the key principle that the public interest means securing access to communications for everyone, including those the market may leave behind. Adelstein is a particularly strong advocate for media diversity and localism, and works diligently to encourage increased voices on the airwaves to support a well-informed citizenry. |

CWA President Larry Cohen Addresses 2008 NABET-CWA Conference.
President Cohen spoke to the need to change the envioronment in which we work, recognize that the "old ways" of doing business must change, and to mobilize and organize our members to meet the challenges of the labor movement. EFCA and HCR are just two of four key points to be presented at this year's CWA Convention in Las Vegas. CWA_COPE, the Steward's Army, and the Milion Member Mobilization were the key programs that will move the labor agenda forward and members need to be involved at every level of the union. |
