| Wear Red on Thursday,We all hear it and yet where did it start and how? |
| The idea of wearing red as a sign of Solidarity started at The Communications Workers of America in the 1989. It started out of love for a brother who lost his life to a SCAB. You see Tricia McNamara had to get to work and drove through the line of picketers. In her haste, this summer SCAB struck down Brother Gerry Horgan. He gave his life for what he believed in, for what he loved, for what he lived for. He wanted what we all want, a good life for his wife and children. Local 1103 in Westchester County N.Y. lost a Brother that day, a wife lost her husband and two little girls lost their father to Corporate GREED. This greed still exists today and has permeated all through our company too folks. The members of that Local wore red for the first time in UNITY for Brother Gerry Horgan. That show of Unity is what has gone through CWA to a regular showing of Solidarity for ALL CWA members. It is not too much to ask to wear this color on a specific day to say with a color or your voice "I'm Proud To Be A Union Member, I'm Proud To Be With CWA!" . Remember Wear RED on Thursday, Remember Brother Gerry Horgan! |
