The triangle symbolizes the three
major programs of the union:
representation, organizing, and
community/political action. None
can stand alone. If the triangle is
broken on any side, sooner or
later it will be broken on every
side. CWA's founding president,
Joseph Beirne, called this the
"triple threat."
Why do we wear RED on Thursday?
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.  
You see Tricia McNamara had to get to work and drove through
the line of picketers. In her haste, this summer SCAB struck down
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.  Local 1103 in
Westchester County N.Y. 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 folks.  The members of that Local wore red for the
first time in UNITY for Brother Gerry Horgan.  That show of Unity
is what has gone through CWA to a regular showing of Solidarity
for ALL CWA members.  It is not too much to ask to wear this
color on a specific day to say with a color or your voice,

"I'm Proud To Be A Union Member,
I'm Proud To Be With CWA!"

Remember Wear RED on Thursday!
