Helen C. Carmody. Helen Carmody was a union builder and union pioneer, having started with New Jersey Bell Telephone Company in 1924 in Trenton in the days before traffic operators enjoyed union representation and long before direct dial telephones. For three horrendous weeks in 1932, as the chief operator in the company’s Hopewell, New Jersey traffic office, Helen Carmody served as the only link between Charles and Anne Lindbergh and the outside world, following the sensational kidnapping of their 19-month-old son. She was in the vanguard when the real efforts to bring unionism to telephone workers got underway in the late 1930s. Helen Carmody was welcomed to the union staff as a CWA representative in June of 1951, a position she held until her retirement in January of 1973. Throughout her life, Helen Carmody cared about others and tried to improve the standard of living for all men and women. We owe her our love and respect for her many contributions to CWA over the years of her journey on earth.
