News from the Unity@Verizon Website:
61 WRONGLY FIRED CWAERS BACK TO WORK AT VERIZON; FIGHT CONTINUES
CWA has won back the jobs of 61 members wrongly fired for alleged misconduct during the Verizon strike in August, and is continuing to fight for the other 25 members who were terminated.
"If the parties can't agree on the 25 remaining cases, we strongly believe they should go before a neutral third party arbitrator," CWA Chief of Staff Ron Collins said. In addition to the 86 fired CWA members, Verizon fired 39 IBEW members. Of those, 25 workers are back on the job.
Recent news stories about Verizon have reported on the firings, but failed to say that most of the workers have won their jobs back.
Leafleting at Verizon Wireless stores and Verizon buildings is continuing across the country including here in Cleveland.

Did you pay federal income tax from 2008 - 2010? Even though they made BILLIONS in profits, Verizon did not
pay a dime during that same period. That's right, ZERO, NADA, NOTHING, in federal income tax!!
