Hang Up On Verizon Wireless
Workers at Verizon Wireless lack basic workplace rights and receive inadequate health and retirement benefits. When they have tried to organize to fix these problems, Verizon has conducted a campaign of illegal firings, threats, intimidation, worker surveillance and has even shut down Northeast call centers and moved them to “right to work” states.
Join with Jobs with Justice and CWA activists to tell cell phone customers to hang-up on union-buster Verizon Wireless.
When: Tuesday, May 30, at noon Where: Verizon Wireless Store (1744 L St. NW) Take Action: www.jwj.org/vzw_pledge.htm More Info: Sara Wallace-Keeshen at 202/765-4162 or mjones@dclabor.org
