The following statement is from CWA President Claude Cummings Jr.: With heavy hearts, our union mourns the death of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a fellow union member of AFGE Local 3669. As his union siblings remember him, Alex was dedicated to caring for our veterans in the ICU and treated all with respect. Our thoughts are with Alex’s loved ones and union siblings. In this great country, an ICU nurse should be safe in his own community. Union members and all working people should feel safe going to work. Parents should feel safe sending their children to school. But when I met with CWA members in Minnesota last week, I heard again and again that hardworking people feel that their communities are under attack. Safety on the job is a core concern of the labor movement. But so is our safety when we return home to our communities and when we send our children to school. Our rights as union members and as Americans are built on the fundamental right to peacefully demonstrate without fear of being killed. The chaos and violence that ICE has wrought in Minnesota must end. It is time to listen to the will of the people and get ICE out of Minnesota.

CWA members and President Claude Cummings Jr. were proud to take action in Minneapolis on Friday against ICE’s assault on our communities.

Multiple CWA members have been taken by ICE.

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and we will not stop until our family is whole again.
