Communique

COMMUNIQUE Awards

The Communique news magazine is published quarterly and is the official publication of the Communications Workers of America Local 1180. The full-color news magazine covers stories of importance to the membership, highlights various events and activities that members organize and participate in, includes minutes of Executive Board meetings, and promotes other union-related material. It is mailed out to all dues-paying members and retirees.

The Communique has won numerous first place awards for both graphic design and writing, as well as top honors for best overall labor publication.

The Editorial Committee plans coverage for upcoming issues of the Communique, and gives team members an opportunity to contribute articles and/or photos for publication. Any member who is interested in joining the Committee will need to submit writing samples for consideration. The Committee is chaired by Local 1180’s Communications Director, Marci Rosenblum. She can be reached at either 845.364.0222 or via email.
