Construction has been completed on the new $3.5 million, nine-story international headquarters of the Communications Workers in downtown Washington.
The union's international offices occupy the top three floors of the new structure, where officers, staff and clerical workers are located, as well as the ground floor where mailing, duplicating and storage facilities are provided. A total of 120 CWA workers occupy the new quarters.
The remaining five floors of the building are leased as offices and stores, with CWA's Dist. 2 using one of the offices in the building as its headquarters.
The building is being financed on a three-year purchase plan, with the CWA making a $500,000 down payment with the balance to be paid at the rate of $1 million a year.
The union held two separate open house celebrations during January. The first, on Jan. 11, was for CWA staff members and their families. On Jan. 13 the union played host to representatives of other unions and government officials. The open house included a tour of the CWA offices and departments.
