Thirty six days into their strike, Verizon workers and their allies will stage a major "Day of Action" this afternoon in downtown Washington, D.C. Hundreds of CWA members, supporters and allies will picket outside the Verizon Wireless Store at 1314 F St., N.W., then march to Lafayette Park to rally across from the White House. The action is being organized by CWA Locals 2108, 2336, and 2222. “Verizon is a very successful company, with profits exceeding $1.5 billion a month,” says CWA 2108. “Yet Verizon wants to send more good jobs overseas, transfer workers away from home for months at a time and outsource more jobs to contractors. Verizon already has moved 5,000 jobs overseas.” After ten months of negotiations, workers were forced to strike on April 13. photos (right): May 5 Verizon Day of Action; Chris Garlock/Union City
