Stop Verizon's Attack on Union Jobs!

Since our last contract, we’ve lost 15,000 CWA jobs in the Verizon East footprint, from 48,000 jobs down to 34,000. That’s not because of the economy or because Verizon’s not profitable.

It’s because management has a very deliberate strategy to shrink the number of union jobs at Verizon. As the size of the union workforce decreases, so does our power: Power to keep our standard of living and power to protect the gains generations of Verizon workers have fought for.

Management is in the process of eliminating the largest number of union jobs in our history through layoffs/buyouts, contracting out, shifting work, and selling off parts of wireline operations. Further work has been lost as Verizon has cut back the FiOS build and neglected the copper plant. And management continues to move investment and jobs from wireline to non-union wireless.

In this round of bargaining, we’ve got to stop Verizon’s attack on union jobs!
