 “Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate? Veterans!” CWA Local 2336 hosted a spirited rally honoring veterans Monday morning after a Verizon vice-president called Veteran’s Day “no big deal" when employees expressed concern about being overworked by being scheduled on this week’s holiday. “It’s disgraceful,” said Jessica Hunt, whose husband serves in the Coast Guard, and who joined the picketline of camo-clad members from area CWA locals waving American flags (check out the video on Local 2336’s Facebook page). Meanwhile, negotiations continue to inch along for a new contract for the nearly 40,000 CWA and IBEW members at Verizon whose previous contract expired August 1.photos courtesy CWA 2336 Facebook page
