(NYT51) OAKLAND -- May 31, 2005 -- TELECOM-LABOR -- Lisa Morowitz, a field coordinator for the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the dominant union in telecommunications, center, meeting with workers of Comcast and SBC communications, at the CWA union hall in Oakland, May 31, 2005. All are working to organize Comcast employees as they are not yet part of the CWA. Even as unions struggle nationwide, with just 12.5 percent of the total workforce unionized in 2004 compared with 22 percent in 1980, they face a particularly bleak future in the telecommunications industry.
