Verizon workers and supporters from throughout CWA can hear updates on the strike at tonight's "virtual union meeting." Leaders from CWA and IBEW, along with activists, will provide field reports and updates. Tune in at 7 p.m. to www.cwa-union.org/verizoncall.

Verizon returned to the bargaining table this week, but CWA and IBEW bargaining teams still are waiting for the company to bargain fairly and end its attack on middle class workers.

At Verizon and Verizon Wireless offices, call centers, phone stores, outdoor garages, and hundreds of workplaces from New England to Virginia, 45,000 CWA and IBEW members are standing strong in their strike to save bargaining rights and middle-class jobs at one of the nation's most profitable companies.

So far in August, hundreds of CWA activists have taken part in more than 50 separate "Accountability Actions" aimed at holding members of Congress accountable for their votes on workers' rights and preserving the middle-class.

As part of CWA's Accountability Actions for August and September, AFA-CWA flight attendants are calling on Congress to fully fund the Federal Aviation Administration and to keep the democratic voting standard for union representation elections.
