More than 75,000 workers at telecommunications giant Verizon are fighting for a contract to protect their jobs. The company has moved U.S. jobs overseas recently—bragging this spring to The Wall Street Journal about work it outsourced to India and last week trying to deny the boast to The Boston Globe. Workers at Verizon and their union want to keep jobs here in America—even nonunion jobs. They’re asking people like you to speak out and let Verizon know how you feel about keeping jobs in this country.

During the past two years, more than 3 million private-sector jobs have been lost in America—many of them were moved overseas as employers took advantage of new unfair trade schemes like those implemented through the World Trade Organization. The strength and unity of Verizon workers through their union has kept the company from cutting more U.S. jobs.

At the same time, corporate executives like Verizon’s Ivan Seidenberg took home millions. Seidenberg’s pay, stock and options take-away were worth more than $67 million last year. Over the past couple years, Verizon executives took home more then $400 million from the company.

These outrageous executive pay practices are only matched by Verizon’s demands of its workers. The company wants cuts in health care and benefits and it wants to cut or move jobs—ripping apart families and communities that depend on those jobs. The company had more than $4 billion in profits last year.

Thanks for all that you do. By joining together we are stronger.
