Huge New York Rally, Strike Vote Put Verizon on Notice 
The street outside Verizon’s headquarters turned red on
Saturday. 6,000 members, retirees, and family members came out
for one reason: to tell Verizon to get serious at the table or
get ready to see us walk.
Our huge -- and loud! -- rally put management on notice of
just how determined we are to win a fair contract that protects
our jobs, benefits, and standard of living. Read
the full story.
Boston will rally this Thursday at 6PM at 185
Franklin St. Come on out!
Keep It Going!
The rally was a great showing of strength and solidarity.
Keep it up! Across VZ-East, locals are picketing, rallying,
standing up, turning cubicles and bulletin boards red, letting
friends and neighbors know what’s happening at Verizon,
and getting ready to walk out if the company won’t agree
to a fair contract.
Stay in touch with your local. Participate in all
mobilization activities, including rallies and workplace
picketing. Make sure your managers know that each of us is ready
to do what it takes to protect our jobs, our benefits, our
retirement security, and our standard of living!
Members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if
necessary. More than 91% of CWA and 95% of IBEW members voted
"yes."
