Verizon Retirement Watch

Dear Verizon Retirement Watch Activist,

Time is running out...

There are only two days left until June 30, when Verizon's proposed pension freeze for salaried workers takes effect. It may be summer, but Verizon employees will be left out in the cold if this freeze is put into place.

Since the beginning of May, hundreds of people have sent letters to CEO Ivan Seidenberg, asking him to Stop the Freeze. If you haven't already, click here to tell him how this freeze will affect you and your family. If you have already written to him, write him a personal note at ivan.g.seidenberg@verizon.com if you didn't get a response the first time or if his response was not satisfactory.

Tell your co-workers about this letter-writing campaign and ask them to visit http://www.verizonretirementwatch.com/stopthefreeze to participate. Verizon workers who belong to a union and friends and family who don't even work for Verizon are also welcome to write to Ivan, expressing their anger at Verizon's broken pension promises.

This fight won't be over on the 30th. Other corporations have followed Verizon's bad example, and the Pension Rights Center and the Communication Workers of America want to stop companies from breaking their pension promises. We'll keep you updated on our plans for future activities to protect employee pensions and we hope you will stay in this fight.

Don't let Verizon hang up on YOUR retirement security!
