Last year a majority of techs at Verizon Business (a new subsidiary created after the company bought the remnants of MCI/WorldCom) formed a union. But Verizon management refused to grant them the same organizing rights that past employees have used to join IBEW or CWA without management interference.
Kevin Leppmann and other Verizon Business techs joined nearly two thousand Verizon telecom workers from throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island to demand a fair contract and to tear down the walls dividing workers and services at Verizon. Leppmann spoke about the need to unite for good jobs and respect.
The current agreement covering about 65,000 employees with Verizon East expires at midnight on August 2, 2008.

CWA is so two-faced, you support The Employee Free Choice Act yet your going to force me, a VZB employee, into the union and force me to pay dues. I did not want or need a union to get to the position I'm in. I worked hard to get here and don't need some lazy union guy wanting my job bumping me becuse he worked in Verizon longer. I will not pay union dues and will start a class action lawsuit naming Verizon and CWA if one cent of my pay is taken without my consent.
As an employee of Verizon AND a Union Member I make a resonable living. My bills are paid, I vacation occasionally and even have a little something put away for a rainy day. Thanks to the Union for bargaining fair wages and the rest of our benefits package. Thanks to Verizon for operating a sound company to date. But don't allow anyone to kid you. The little I have, I want to keep. And it's not too much to ask for. Thank You CWA. Never give up, never surrender! In Solidarity, Gary S. Local 2275
