About Us

Welcome to the website of the Communications Workers of America, Local 7201. Our Local currently represents approximately 1,200 workers from AT&T, SBC and Qwest in Minnesota's Capitol City of St.Paul and it's surrounding communities.

These workers have collective bargaining agreements - contracts - with the companies they work for defining their wages, hours and working conditions.

Members of CWA Local 7201 are involved in their communities by actively participating in politics and community service projects.

Our local union helps build power for all workers in Minnesota by affiliating and participating in the Minnesota AFL-CIO and the St.Paul Trades and Labor Assembly.
