Communications Workers of America, Local 1151 represented AT&T and Bell System employees in the Albany, NY area. The Local had its historical roots in the founding period of the CWA, and a strong tradition of involvement in the CWA's national activities, based on the involvement of its long-time president Frank Karl. In addition to his service to the Local, Karl was a long-standing member of CWA's National Bargaining Committee.
