Striking metro-area Verizon workers will rally today at 11a on Columbia Pike in Silver Spring (see Calendar, right). “We are striking to keep good middle class jobs here in our communities and against the overtime abuses management forces on our members,” says CWA District 2-13. CWA Vice President Ed Mooney and other local leaders will be on hand this morning to rally support for the strike and invite “our Labor community, allies and the public to come out and show their support.” photo: CWA 2108 members with CWA president Chris Shelton at Monday's Democracy Awakening demo/march; photo courtesy CWA 2108 Facebook page
