East Coast CWA members collectively put thousands of miles on their sneakers this week as they led multi-day marches to denounce the greed that is driving Verizon Communications and other hugely profitable corporations to destroy good jobs and, with them, America's middle class.

At 12:05 a.m. Tuesday, with a long line of happily sleep-deprived Milwaukee residents behind him, CWA Local 4603 Vice President Clinton Rodgers became one of the first Wisconsin voters to sign a petition to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

Join CWAers from around the country next Thursday, Nov. 17, for a national telephone call featuring updates on Verizon bargaining, terrific news about Election 2011, and the many ways we're building a movement for good middle-class jobs and collective bargaining rights.
