It's the oldest union local in the state of Michigan and one of the oldest in the country. Throughout its rich history the union has represented three major dailies: The Detroit News, The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit Times as well as suburban newspaper publications and non-newsprint publishers of the Detroit metropolitan area.The Printing, Publishing and Media Workers Sector of CWA now represents women and men in a diverse range of occupations in daily newspapers, commercial printing and mailing operations, graphic design, specialty manufacturing, publishing and distribution as well as the U.
