CWA’s Errol Minor Joins NAACP Labor Discussion

Last month, Errol Minor, host of the CWA Hour of Power podcast and member of the CWA National Civil Rights and Equity Committee for District 3, served as a guest panelist at the 73rd NAACP Alabama State Convention on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The gathering included civil rights leaders, activists, and community members celebrating the power of collective action and the enduring impact of the NAACP’s work in Alabama.

Minor shared perspectives on the intersection of labor rights, civil rights, and equity initiatives within our union, highlighting the critical role advocacy plays in empowering workers and marginalized communities. A key part of the conversation focused on the importance of educating union members on how public policies directly affect their daily lives, from wages and healthcare access to workplace protections and civil rights. By making these connections clear, unions can help members make informed decisions that strengthen both their livelihoods and their communities.

The NAACP has long been a crucial partner for labor movements, providing leadership and resources. From fighting discriminatory practices in the workplace to advancing policies that protect civil and human rights, their work complements CWA’s dedication to equity, fairness, and empowerment for all workers.

Whether through volunteering, attending events, or supporting initiatives, your participation can strengthen the bond between labor and civil rights advocacy and help create a more just and equitable society for everyone.
