45,000 workers in the US are now on strike to end Corporate Greed.

You can sign the petition now telling Verizon CEO McAdam to stop the attacks on workers



Sign the Petition

Despite record profits, US telecom giant Verizon is demanding that its workers add to those profits from their own pockets.

In the last four years alone, Verizon made more than US$19 billion in profits and compensated their top five executives more than a quarter of a billion dollars. But apparently that’s not enough.

Now they’re refusing to bargain. Starting on June 22 Verizon pushed proposals that would let them outsource more jobs, slash sick days, eliminate benefits for workers who get hurt on the job and cut the healthcare benefits they promised retirees. And they haven’t budged.

That’s why 45,000 CWA and IBEW members walked out on Sunday August 7^th to force Verizon to abandon its hostile Wisconsin-style tactics and come to the bargaining table and negotiate.

The world has had enough of corporate greed. Now is the time for Verizon to do the right thing and come to the bargaining table in good faith.

Send a letter now to tell Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam to stop Verizon’s attack on workers and share his company’s success with those who made it possible.
