Workers celebrate Jesse Mason's return to work at Verizon Wireless and a new report on Tuesday that exposes significant racial inequities at Maximus, one of the federal government’s largest service contractors.

Telecom giant agrees to settle with Seattle-based worker Jesse Mason, who Verizon Wireless illegally fired in April 2022 for union organizing. Settlement serves a major victory for workers, who are continuing to succeed despite company’s aggressive attempts at union-busting.

CWA and the National Employment Law Project released a new report that provides a first-of-its-kind look at the effects of outsourcing in the wireless telecom industry.
