A month of solid campaigning by CWA members in New Mexico and an intense get-out-the-vote effort Tuesday gave a former CWA local president a decisive second term win as Santa Fe's mayor.

David Coss won 58 percent of the vote and beat two challengers. He was president of CWA Local 7037 when it began organizing public workers in the 1980s.

Workers at two Dish Network locations in Texas won CWA Local 6171 representation in spite of management's illegal efforts to intimidate them.

The 103 network technicians and warehouse employees in Farmers Branch and North Richland Hills voted for CWA in separate elections. CWA District 6 Vice President Andy Milburn said local organizers helped workers build strong inside committees and stay united.

About 5,500 union members, leaders and supporters rallied in Evansville, Ind., to fight to keep the Whirlpool plant there open.

Whirlpool wants to close the plant so it can spend $110 million on a new facility in Mexico. Refrigerators manufactured at the Mexican plant mainly will be sold in the U.S. market. If the Indiana plant closes, about 900 members of IUE-CWA Local 84808 and 200 managers will lose their jobs.
