 Verizon Business workers want a
union!
But management has launched a vicious anti-union campaign,
spreading insults and misinformation about CWA and IBEW behind
our backs.
Tell Verizon Business to Stop
Union-Busting
Five
members of Congress have certified that a clear majority of VZB
technicians in New England and New York State want to join CWA
and IBEW. (Check it out on YouTube: FreeChoiceAtVerizon.com)
Verizon's response? Calling our unions a "third party" that
will interfere with labor-management relations. We have to speak
up loud and clear and let Verizon know we won't stand for them
talking about our union this way! (Read VZ's whole message: FreeChoiceAtVerizon.com)
Tell Verizon
Business to Stop Union-Busting
Here's what VZB said about us: "We believe that the interests
of our employees, our customers, and company are best served in
an environment of direct contact between employees and
management without the involvement of a third party."
The Verizon Business workers do the
same work we do, and they should receive the same pay,
benefits, job security, and seniority protection that our
members have under our negotiated IBEW-CWA contracts with
Verizon.
Whether you work at Verizon or not,
please send a letter
to Robert Toohey, Senior VP for Human
Resources at VZ Business -- and the author of one of the
anti-union messages -- and to Chairman & CEO Ivan
Seidenberg. Let them know you support these workers and
they should have a real voice at work.
Please tell the
company it's got to do better.
We need to send a strong signal to the company that it should
respect the union -- and not just in the Northeast. Thousands of
Verizon Business employees across the country are trying
to form unions. Let's help these workers get their wish
–- without having to struggle so hard to do so.
Thank you for taking action and standing up for the rights of
all Verizon workers! Unity@Verizon |
