• Verizon Wireless and Apple Workers Organize with CWA [telecom]

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 24 00:55:31 2022
    Last Friday, in a tremendous victory, workers at Verizon Wireless
    stores in Everett and Lynnwood, Wash., won their union election. The
    workers, who have been organizing for months, remained united in their
    efforts to form a union even in the face of aggressive anti-union
    tactics from the company.

    Workers and supporters held a tailgate outside of the Verizon Wireless
    store in Everett to watch and celebrate the official National Labor
    Relations Board vote count. After the tailgate, the workers met
    privately with Starbucks workers at a nearby store who recently formed
    a union and served as an inspiration for the Verizon workers to
    organize.

    The workers now aim to create an organizing wave inside the company
    that can sweep across the country. They hope to inspire other Verizon
    Wireless workers to stand up, be brave, and fight for the union they
    deserve.
