Union Members Tell Verizon: "Honor Our Contract And Tear Down The Wall"

Thousands of CWA and IBEW members picketed at more than 250 Verizon locations on March 6 and March 13, carrying signs demanding that Verizon honor our contract.

Verizon management has sought to reach a new agreement with IBEW and CWA by May 1, 2008. After preliminary talks were suspended without any progress in December, Verizon initiated another round in February. But union leaders have insisted that if Verizon hopes to reach an early agreement on a new contract, it must respect the existing one.
