Stop Verizon Greed! 45,000 on Strike

45,000 Verizon workers went on strike on Sunday, August 7th. The reason? Despite record profits, Verizon is refusing to bargain and is demanding that its workers add to those profits from their own pockets. In the last four years alone, Verizon made more than $19 billion in profits and compensated their top five executives more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

Take action now.

But apparently that’s not enough. Starting on June 22 Verizon pushed proposals that would let them outsource more jobs, including sending jobs overseas, slash sick days, eliminate benefits for workers who get hurt on the job and cut the healthcare benefits they promised retirees. And they haven’t budged.

So on Sunday, 45,000 CWA and IBEW members decided to take a stand to force Verizon to abandon its Wisconsin-style tactics and come to the bargaining table and negotiate.

America has had enough of corporate greed. Now is the time for Verizon to do the right thing and come to the bargaining table in good faith instead of trying to kill the American dream for 45,000 middle-class workers.

Sign the petition now to tell Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam to stop Verizon’s attack on the middle class and share his company’s success with those who made it possible. It's time to let Verizon and other greedy corporations know that enough is enough. We're not just going to "hold the line", we're going to MOVE the line!
