The short explanation of this alert was:

Tell Verizon: When You Take On One of Us, You Take on All of Us

Over 300 CWA members in New York are on strike against Verizon Information Services. These Yellow Pages sales reps walked out and began an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike on October 31 because Verizon has refused to bargain in good faith.

This is just another attempt by Verizon to isolate and pick up off a group of union members.

  • Even winning representation and their first union contract was a long struggle for VIS workers. Despite signing a neutrality agreement, Verizon ran a campaign of fear and intimidation against the workers.  The members are now fighting for a second contract and the Company has bargained in bad faith, doing all they can to bust the union.
Breaking News: Verizon has just announced that management employees will no longer accrue guaranteed pension benefits or receive retiree health insurance. (Click here for details.)

This is another attack on union members at VIS (except in New England), who are part of the management pension plan. (Current retirees and other union VZ employees are not affected.)

This attack on unionism and collective bargaining at Yellow Pages is a shot across the bow of all Verizon workers. We must stand together and mobilize to pressure Verizon to end its unfair labor practices and bad faith bargaining, and negotiate a fair contract.

The strikers need YOUR help!
