Opinion: As a union leader, I've learned one big lesson: Workers can't just rely on promises from CEOs, by Richard Honeycutt of CWAUnion
CEOs are promising to take better care of workers with stronger benefits and higher pay. But as a union leader, I know firsthand that workers can't take these promises for granted. I led a strike of 20,000 AT&T workers fighting for better pay and working conditions. Our strike proved that workers must be willing to put up a fight to get better conditions. Richard Honeycutt is the vice president for District 3 of the Communications Workers of America.
