CWA's Mission Statement

   Improve the standard of living for our current and future members;

    Organize new members into the union to bring the benefits of collective bargaining to the unorganized;

   Reaffirm our commitment to universal service so that all Americans have equal access to the information highway;

   Educate our members to vote in their own best interests and to build community coalitions at the national and local levels to support workers' rights.
