Now in its fifth week, one of the biggest strikes in the US in recent years remains strong and determined in the fight to protect decent jobs at Verizon.

Almost 40,000 CWA and IBEW members staged hundreds of protests across the United States on May 5, as the company held its shareholders meeting in Albuqurque, New Mexico.  300,000 petitions were presented to Verizon at the shareholders meeting and protests took place outside the meeting. Protests also took place in more than 17 communities across the US.

This week UNI affiliates ver.di and Solidarnosc organised cross border strikes in Poland and Germany at Amazon warehouses across both countries.
