CWA NJ Social Media Training for Change

by: Couch Potato Politics

Fri Aug 12, 2011 at 10:53:05 AM EDT



W00t! - promoted by Rosi

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) NJ offices is holding another stewards training to educate a new group of member activists for the fight against the attack on workers rights in New Jersey.

I was invited to present Blue Jersey and discuss the power of progressive blogging and activism through sharing stories and struggles from the offices and homes of working class families under attack by people like Chris Christie, Stephen Sweeney and George Norcross, III.

The last training brought about 80 members out of the dark and into the light of social media and activism. This new training is adding to the ranks and giving more power to the voice of workers in a fight for our very way of life and careers.

The training will focus on the many different avenues of communication available on the internet through Blue Jersey, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and personal blogs.

Membership invited? (1.00 / 1)
How come regular members were not given notice of this training?

I know of no one who even knew this was occuring.

I guess it was the handpicked "activists" who attended.

Was it during work hours?

I know quite a few state worker cwa members from south jersey who would have loved to have you teach them how to attack all the Southern Democrats.

I guess none were invited....  


17 minutes (0.00 / 0)
 
I think you just sit around waiting to attack cwa.

If cwa had invited the entire membership, you would have criticized that as bad too.

Did you miss the work-sites? (0.00 / 0)
If you are a CWA member, CWA D1 has done everything within its power to bring this information and training to you.

As a matter of necessity, the training was offered to Reps and Stewards and they are responsible for bringing the training and the information to the work-sites. Your concern/complaint would be better served by asking your Local officers or work-site stewards whether they attended or not and when they will be making the training information and materials available at the work-site level.


If we don't stand together, we fall alone
That didn't last long.



New Members Welcome (3.00 / 1)
Just finished up introducing members to Blue Jersey and guiding them through the sign up process.

Our ranks are growing and they will be taking the message back to the work-sites and out to their friends and families!

Through numbers we gain strength!

If we don't stand together, we fall alone
That didn't last long.



Good. Glad CWA stewards are here (1.00 / 1)
Hopefully these handpicked cwa stewards will come on this site with an open mind and listen to both the moderates who post here and the radical left.

Where's the radical left? (0.00 / 0)
As far as i can tell, this site has moderate progressives and a few conservatives as members.
