Happy Labor Day--A History
August 30, 2024-From the U.S. Department of Labor
Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
Early Adopters
Before it was a federal holiday, Labor Day was recognized by labor activists and
individual states. After municipal ordinances were passed in 1885 and 1886, a
movement developed to secure state legislation. New York was the first state to
introduce a bill, but Oregon was the first to pass a law recognizing Labor Day, on
February 21, 1887. During 1887, four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New
Jersey and New York – passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. By the end of the
decade Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23
more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday.
McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day?
Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title.
Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a "general holiday for the laboring classes" to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday.
Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew
Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association
of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while
serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.
According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland
signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call
published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday."
Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.
The First Labor Day
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday.
A Nationwide Holiday
Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades and parties – festivities very similar to those outlined by the first proposal for a holiday, which suggested that the day should be observed with – a street parade to exhibit "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day.
Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.
American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker.

Tentative Bargaining Agreement Reached
December 6, 2023

Full details to follow in the coming days.
We could not have reached this agreement without the support of our local union leaders, mobilization team members, and every member who supported the organizing and mobilization efforts over the past several months. Your participation in mobilization activities made a huge difference at the bargaining table and demonstrated the power of our unity.
Stay tuned for more details.
In solidarity,
The CWA-IBT Bargaining Committee
A side note from Local 3642 President, Tammy Scott:
Please be patient. We will be sharing the contract information soon with our members. Don’t fall for all the misinformation that I’m already seeing on Facebook. People are guessing at things and nothing has been shared. We are a united bargaining team and will release the specifics about the contract simultaneously. I told you all if I didn’t believe in it I wouldn’t support it. I absolutely support it! I’m looking forward to sharing it with all the members throughout CWA-IBT.
Informational picketing at RDU a huge success
November 14, 2023
On Tuesday, November 14, CWA Local 3642 picketed RDU international Airport in support of the CWA/IBT bargaining team, which is working to negotiate an industry-leading contact for American Airlines' passenger service employees. The goal of the picketing is to inform the public concerning wages and the scope of our work groups.
In addition to the picketing, Spectrum News interviewed Tammy Hux (our Secretary/Treasurer elect and protest organizer). She spoke about AI as well as the off shoring of our calls in reservations. endangering our jobs. We'll share this interview at a later time.
Our reservations group was joined by some airport personnel as well as our sisters and brothers from AT&T Local 3611. At most times there were at least 30 of us at the corner of RDU international and we had cars, Amazon and UPS drivers sounding their horns in support. Some drivers stopped by to ask what in particularly we were protesting and were genuinely interested and wished us good luck.
It was inspirational to see the support of the public, even the RDU Airport Police, and the enthusiasm of our group. It was a great day and we appreciated everyone that came out and shared their time for OUR cause because... When We FIGHT, We WIN!

CWA Local 3642 news and notes...
September 29, 2023
Local 3642 RDU Res
Cafeteria Access Denied
From 3642 President Tammy Scott--I was just advised that our union can no longer have a table in the cafeteria. This would be for all the res offices DFW, PHX and RDU Res. So, going forward, our mobilization efforts will take place from the parking lot. We will set up a table and hold events outside.
Our next mobilization event will be October 17th. That will be during our next bargaining session.
Please save the date for November 14th. I will share more information later. This will be held at the CLT Airport. We need as many as possible to attend.
This action, moving Local events outside, shows that that our mobilization efforts are having an impact on the company as they appear to be retaliating.
Update regarding
temporary HBRs
Your CWA-IBT bargaining committee agreed to extend the work from home agreement for six months, beginning in January 2024.
We wanted to make sure our members were aware of the extension before the upcoming bid.
Save the date...
November 14
On November 14, 2023, we will be having another mobilization event at the Charlotte Airport where CWA will again conduct informational picketing. Local 3642 President Tammy Scott will keep us posted when all the details are available.
Part-time shift hours
reduced on winter bid
Due to feedback from your CWA-IBT bargaining team, 20 hour part-time shifts will be offered on the upcoming bid in October.
This has always been contractual however it’s never been utilized since we’ve been unionized. This was due to staffing needs.
For the winter bid 80 percent of the part-time bid will be 20
hour shifts. this will include small desks with less then 20 part-timers, including RDU CKS will have 5x4 shifts.
Twenty percent of the part-time bid will be creative shifts with a variety of options, such as 16, 20, 24, 25 and 30 hour shifts options. Other options are 2x10 shifts working Saturday and Sunday. (The above above-mentioned shifts options are available to SLS, IAD and RSD.)
CWA Passenger Service Members Picket at
Charlotte Douglas International Airport--August 15, 2023
Members of passenger service locals from throughout North Carolina gathered outside Charlotte Douglas International Airport to participate in informational picketing concerning bargaining between CWA-IBT and American Airlines. The union was sharing information concerning the speed of the bargaining process and the company's lack of response to its Scope and Range proposals that were presented last October.
Local 3642 was led by President Tammy Scott, Tammy Hux, Corey McLamb, Michelle Reddick, Maria Clarke, Sandi Paisley and Alddy Moreta. The passenger service group had a great showing, despite the heat index being above 100 degrees. Charlotte channel WCNC will air interviews on their 5 p.m. news on August 15.
As more and more members become involved in mobilization the company has to take notice and see our work group is united and is serious about receiving the contract it deserves.

In his capacity, as the first CWA President, Joe Beirne took great pride in the roles he played in the fields of education and learning and other areas of social concern. On April 26, 1999, the CWA Executive Board voted to combine the Joseph Anthony Beirne Memorial Foundation and the Ray Hackney Scholarship Fund, thereby creating the CWA Joe Beirne Foundation.

WHO WAS BEIRNE?
Joseph Anthony Beirne is considered CWA’s founding leader. The son of Irish immigrant parents – his dad was a union railroad worker – Beirne grew up in Jersey City, N.J. and went to work in 1927 for Western Electric, the Bell Telephone System’s manufacturing arm. With the New Deal labor reforms and passage of the Wagner Act in 1935, Beirne and others were inspired to begin organizing the nation’s phone workers. After the National Federation of Telephone Workers was formed in 1938, the fiery and charismatic Beirne soon ascended to the presidency in 1943 at the age of 32. He set himself the mission of molding this loose federation of autonomous unions into a true international union. That goal, forged in the fires of a tough nationwide strike by 350,000 Bell System workers in 1947, was achieved the following year with creation of the modern Communications Workers of America. With a strong new national structure and affiliation with the militant CIO in 1949, CWA, under Joe Beirne’s leadership, broadened its organizing focus. It grew steadily in numbers and strength and used an innovative pattern bargaining strategy to raise wage and benefit standards throughout the communications industry. The union also became a leading force in the political and legislative arenas, community services, the civil rights struggle, and global labor affairs. When Beirne, who was seriously ill, stepped down from the presidency in June of 1974, CWA had become recognized as one of the most dynamic and progressive unions in the world – qualities that also described its leader for more than three decades. Joe Beirne died on Labor Day 1974. The Joseph A. Beirne Foundation honors his lifelong commitment to education and progressive social causes.

Local 3642's membership appreciation day
On Monday, November 1, 2021, CWA Local 3642 held a membership appreciation day in the RDU Res cafeteria. Despite a busy day of mandatory overtime, President Tammy Scott and volunteers Mary Smith, Sharon Vaught, Kim Brugh, Nancy McLemore and Laurian Nobrega were able to meet with our OBRs and hand out goody/headset bags to show our appreciation for all the difficult and stressful work everyone has put in over the past two years.
For those members who weren't able to pick up their bags, we plan to have another recognition day sometime in the next month. You can also pick up your bags at the Local, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. if you like.
A huge 'thank you' to the other volunteers who helped put this all together:
Karen Hooper Raven Johnson Dawn Hiatt Rathge Carol Bonilla
Tammy Hux Nan Daniels
CWA 3642 Honors Cary's Emergency Workers on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11
On the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, CWA 3642's Community Committee collected donations from it's members to buy and serve lunch and dinner to Cary's Police Department, the firefighters at Station 3 and the EMTs. We did this to honor those that serve and protect our community on a daily basis in memory of those who we lost 20 years ago.
Thank you to all those who donated money, time and food for the event and to Mr. Paul at NY Pizza in Cary. A special thank you to Tammy Hux, Maria Clarke and Tammy Scott for organizing such a nice way of letting our emergency workers know we appreciate them.
Everyone was so appreciative of the gesture and it was an honor to be a part of this wonderful day.
