Wear Red on Thursday

We all hear it and yet where did it start and how?

 The idea of wearing red as a sign of Solidarity started at The Communications Workers of America in the 1989. It started out of love for a brother who lost his life to a SCAB.

A manager's daughter had to get to work and drove through the line of picketers.
In her haste, this SCAB struck down CWA Brother Gerry Horgan.
He gave his life for what he believed in, for what he loved, for what he lived for.
He wanted what we all want, a good life for his wife and children.

CWA members lost a Brother that day, a wife lost her husband and two little girls lost their father to Corporate GREED.

This greed still exists today and has permeated all through our company too.
The members of Local 1103 wore red for the first time in UNITY for Brother Gerry Horgan in 1989.

CWA Members Nationwide wear RED every Thursday to honor Gerry, and all of the other CWA members that have lost their lives fighting to protect the benefits and wages that we enjoy today.

Please join us in this display of solidarity.

"I'm Proud To Be A Union Member, I'm Proud To Be CWA!"
Remember Wear RED on Thursday!!!
