CWA Red Cross Workers Win New Contract

In January, CWA members working for the Red Cross in District 1 and District 2-13 ratified a new joint contract. CWA represents Red Cross workers in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. These locals form part of a ten-union bargaining collective known as the Coalition of American Red Cross Unions. Red Cross contracts are bargained and ratified collectively to ensure uniformity in primary considerations such as wages, healthcare, and retirement benefits. Individual locals bargain on issues specific to their locals, like travel compensation or dues collections.

Under the new contract, members will receive a ratification bonus, across-the-board wage increases, increased 401(k) matching, uniform allowance increases, and additional pay for work on holidays.
