The only way – only way! – to win a strong contract is to have an active and engaged membership. You would be a part of engaging people to stay informed and take action on issues that matter to our careers, our families, and our future.
The Contract Action Team (CAT) connects what’s happening at the bargaining table to membership and to the broader community. CAT leads the fight to support bargaining through coordinated communication, activities, and actions, while our bargaining team leads the fight at the table by making CPPW demands directly to the City.
Now there are two ways to connect with CAT for the 2026 CPPW reopener!
