"Tear Down the Wall" Rally in NYC

While Verizon president and chief operating officer Dennis Strigl addressed telecom industry execs at Bank of America's Media, Telecommunications and Entertainment Conference in New York City on March 29, some 200 CWA members at Verizon core picketed on the outside, chanting "Tear Down the Wall." CWAers are planning to keep the pressure on Strigl and other company officials until they respect Verizon Business employees' right to organize.

"We need to keep reminding Verizon that our union – and workers who want a union at Verizon Business – are not going away," William Gallagher, vice president Local 1109.
