Action is the antidote to despair.
Your visibility and your actions are a critical part of keeping the pressure on the City to settle a fair contract. Every conversation, every blue shirt, every action — that’s what built this moment.
Now’s the time to join your union’s events and committees to show the City that you won’t back down without a fair, strong contract.
Upcoming CPPW Events
Your union’s event calendar is the place to find all upcoming meetings, events, and actions.
