Tell Verizon: Respect Workers' Rights simple E action



http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/verizon_business?rk=y1Sudid11EOAE

Verizon Business workers want a union! A clear majority of technicians at Verizon Business in New York and New England have signed authorization cards showing they want to be represented by CWA and IBEW.
But Verizon management refuses to recognize the majority's choice. Instead, they have launched an anti-union campaign, spreading misinformation about unions and holding "captive-audience" meetings.

Tell Verizon to stop union-busting!

Dear < Decision Maker >,

(Edit Letter Below)

I am disappointed to hear that Verizon Business is ignoring the choice of a majority of your workers to form a union. I urge you to respect the choice these workers have made by signing authorization cards and recognize the union.

As you know, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Employee Free Choice Act, which, once enacted, will allow workers to form a union when a simple majority signs union authorization cards. While this is not yet the law of the land, I believe you should follow the lead of the House of Representatives and grant union recognition to these workers.

Verizon has agreed in the past to recognize the union when a majority of workers sign union authorization cards. It is time to do so again. A clear majority of Verizon Business technicians want a union, and their choice should be honored.

Respect the free choice of a majority of Verizon Business employees.

Just fill in your info at the link and send.
