In a show of solidarity, GNTA members walked the picket line with our striking Verizon union brothers and sisters in Jericho on May 24. These members of CWA Local 1104 and over 40,000 other Verizon workers from Massachusetts to Virginia have been on strike for over 40 days. The reasons: they say they cannot accept Verizon proposals that would allow additional outsourcing of call center workers to the Philippines and Mexico, greater use of nonunion contract installers, and the assignment of union employees to other cities for up to two months at a time.
