of turning local labor struggles into highly visible statewide and national campaigns while generating widespread organizational and financial support for workers and their unions.
CCI brings to its campaigns a variety of skills to help unions win the most difficult battles. We are a team of experts in all facets of research and strategy development, political and community organization, media and public relations, and fundraising. We are also campaign technicians.
CCI's capabilities in research and intelligence gathering are unsurpassed. We know where to find and how to package and disseminate information that will place union adversaries on the defensive and sway public opinion in favor of the union.
In addition to our organizational know-how, CCI puts powerful resources behind its clients. Our unique database includes virtually every labor organization, both AFL-CIO and independents, in public and private sectors throughout the nation. This includes tens of thousands of locals, district councils, national and international unions, key headquarters staff, labor attorneys, lobbyists and editors, state and central labor bodies. Through our network, CCI has generated large-scale organizational support and millions of dollars in contributions for union struggles and striking workers over the years.
CCI also maintains a network of individuals and organizations outside the labor movement that support labor struggles. CCI has a long history of working with and for various religious organizations. Thus, part of the network includes religious leaders and organizations of all faiths.
In short, CCI develops strategies and tactics and structures campaigns in ways that strengthen internal union solidarity, maximize membership and family involvement and generate favorable media coverage. In so doing we help union leaders create a collective bargaining atmosphere that places them on the offensive and that gives them real clout at the bargaining table and with political leaders.
