Are You Ready for March 22?

There's still time to find an event in your community and join in the National Day of Action, that hits "1 percent" Verizon for its corporate greed, and brings union and progressive activists together to stand up for each other's fights on March 22.

Go to www.stopverizongreed.com to find an event or post information about what your local has planned. Across AFL-CIO unions, across the labor movement, with support from Jobs with Justice and lots of progressive groups, activists are joining together on March 22.

There will be hundreds of events and actions across the country. Many CWAers and supporters will leaflet at Verizon Wireless stores to support the fair contract fight of VZW workers. Union activists, Occupiers and others will rally to focus attention on the corporate greed of companies like Verizon, Wells Fargo and more.

Some highlights:

• In San Francisco, numerous unions, the SF Labor council, elected officials and activists across the area have endorsed the March 22 action. The action starts at noon outside a big shopping area on Market St., where janitors and Retail Clerks members will talk about their fight for fairness and a fair contract, followed by a march past the Verizon Wireless store and a Wells Fargo bank branch, to support Service Employees members.
• In New York, CWA and Transport Workers Union members are joining forces for actions at Verizon and the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
