In response to the recent nominations of Jim Murphy and Scott Mayer as Board members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Claude Cummings Jr., President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union, has voiced concerns over what he perceives as an anti-worker agenda by President Trump.
Cummings criticized the decision to replace NLRB Member Gwynne A. Wilcox, describing her as “an experienced Black woman who is well steeped in labor law,” with two individuals he claims have historically prioritized corporate interests over workers’ rights. He called for Wilcox’s return to her position and urged Congress to confirm only those candidates committed to representing American workers and their families.
Additionally, Cummings appealed to the Supreme Court to uphold constitutional principles and maintain the separation of powers among government branches. He concluded by denouncing what he sees as President Trump’s anti-worker actions.
The Communications Workers of America represents a wide range of professionals across various industries including telecommunications, media, airlines, health care, public service, education, manufacturing, and technology.
