Justice @ Verizon -- Your Support Needed
Submitted by Allison Fletche... on August 31, 2011
CWA and IBEW are set to meet today to reconvene bargaining with Verizon. This "reset" of the company's bargaining position was made possible by the tremendous strike and mobilization efforts of union members and allies like you across the country.
Jobs with Justice coalitions, union members, and allies continue to leaflet at Verizon stores across the country to let Verizon know that we won't let them get away with gutting good jobs -- especially on the heels of news that Verizon pays their CEO more than they pay in U.S. taxes!
But this fight is far from over. Verizon workers need OUR SUPPORT to keep the pressure on!
How you can help:
- LEAFLET: There is a new leaflet available for download & distribution at your local Verizon Wireless store. Download a new flyer and organize a group to leaflet. We are particularly focusing our efforts on Wireless Wednesdays from 12-2pm and 5-7pm and Saturdays.
- ADOPT A STORE: Can you commit to coordinating activities at a store near you? Can you commit, at a minimum, to activities on Wireless Wednesdays from 12-2pm and 5-7pm and/or Saturdays? Adopt a Store!
- FIND A LEAFLETING ACTION NEAR YOU: Find stores that are already "adopted" and join planned activities.
- REPORT YOUR ACTIVITIES: Please use the form on the JwJ website to report on your activities.
Thank you for all you have done and all that you will continue to do!
