Verizon unit members should be aware that the recent threat from Kevin Service was just that an empty threat. CWA District One Vice President Chris Shelton’s You Tube Video clearly delineates the line between lawful and unlawful refusals to work voluntary overtime.
The UNION cannot direct you to refuse to work overtime. It is perfectly legal for you of your own volition to refuse to work voluntary overtime for whatever reason YOU choose.
So,by this message the UNION is not directing you to either work or not to work voluntary overtime, that decision is completely yours and that is what Chris Shelton’s YouTube message is meant to convey.
