CWA Customer Service Forum

Welcome to the CWA Customer Service Professionals Blog

At CWA we care about Customer Service Professionals. We are educating locals and leaders about customer service issues and creating solutions to problems customer service workers deal with every day.

Each month this forum will present topics for CWA members and customer service workers anywhere to discuss -- Electronic Sweatshops, Workplace Issues & Solutions, Stress, Time Off/Flexibility/Overtime, Scripting/Call Flow, Inadequate Training, Leveraged Titles.

Share your thoughts and experiences with us and become part of the learning process. Hopefully we can change your workplace for the better. Please do not use company names when doing a posting we don't want anyone to be tracked as companies look for information on themselves.
