With the strike at Verizon now in its 13th day, 45,000 members of CWA and IBEW remain determined to stay out as long as it takes to get the company to bargain in good faith with their union bargaining teams.

Tens of thousands of working Americans, other unions, students, civil rights, religious, and community groups have joined union members' fight to get Verizon to bargain in good faith. More than 150,000 people so far have signed CWA's online petition, urging Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam to stop union-busting and negotiate fairly.

Thanks to tremendous get-out-the-vote efforts by CWAers and working families in Wisconsin, every Democratic senator was reelected in the series of recall elections prompted by Gov. Scott Walker's efforts, with Republicans, to strip workers of their bargaining rights.

In August and September, CWA members and retirees across the country are attending congressional town halls, visiting members of Congress at their district offices, and leafleting workplaces to hold Congress accountable for their votes on issues critical to workers and the middle class.
