Every member and retiree should be making plans to attend the July 30th rally at Verizon headquarters in New York City. The rally will begin at 11 a.m. at 140 West St.
Thousands of CWA and IBEW members are coming from across the footprint, some of them riding buses all night to be there. We need every member and retiree to make that same commitment to fight against Verizon’s greed and for a fair contract that protects our jobs and standard of living.
Contact your steward or local now for transportation. Bring your family members and other supporters. And, of course, wear red!
