Washington DC – Verizon workers with Communication Workers of America (CWA) Local 2336 were joined by IBEW union members to rally in downtown Washington, DC today, April 21. Around 100 workers picketed outside a Verizon store near the Metro Center train stop.
Striking members of the Communication Workers of America walk the picket line outside US West headquarters in Minneapolis. The strike resulted from forced overtime and contracting out to non-union companies. A tentative settlement brought the employees back to work, but unresolved issues may mean the rank and file reject the contract and renew their strike.
