Verizon Wireless' Anti-Union Network

Take Action Now! Verizon Wireless is one of the nation's most popular wireless providers, serving 42 million customers. But did you know the company is also one of the most anti-union? A federal Administrative Law Judge recently found that Verizon Wireless illegally disciplined a pro-union worker and interfered with employees' rights to form or support a union. And Verizon Wireless workers say the company used "scare tactics" and intimidation to prevent employees from joining unions. Tell Verizon Wireless to Stop Interfering With Employees Who Want To Form Unions! How far has Verizon Wireless gone to kill any effort by its workers to have a union to improve their workplace? The company has prohibited workers from talking about the union on their own time. Verizon Wireless forced its employees to do its dirty work—a federal investigation revealed a company rule requiring employees to report all union activity at their worksite, as part of the company's national "Emergency Procedures." And in an action reminiscent of Wal-Mart's closure of a Quebec store when its employees formed a union, Verizon Wireless shut down a call center after its employees moved closer to getting their union! Whether you're a customer of Verizon Wireless or not—you know this behavior is shameful and the company needs to be called out for it. Please tell the company it can do better: http://go.care2.com/e/lKr/nN/JXLF It doesn't have to be this way. Verizon Wireless' top competitor—Cingular Wireless—honors its employees' wishes if they choose to form a union. Even employees at Verizon's landline division have union representation—65,000 of them, in fact! Verizon Wireless workers simply desire what their colleagues have—the right to have a say in their working conditions, some job security, and protection from unfair treatment and firings. Tell Verizon Wireless to stop hanging up on workers' rights: http://go.care2.com/e/lKr/nN/JXLF Thank you for taking action and standing up for the rights of Verizon Wireless workers!
