 With the strike by nearly 40,000 Verizon workers now in its fifth week, strikers and their supporters are increasing the pressure by staging a national day of action. Thousands are expected to hit area picket lines today as Verizon holds its shareholders meeting, demonstrating that support for the month-long strike is stronger than ever. The main local picket-line will be at the Verizon Wireless store at 13th and F Streets at 4 pm this afternoon, but you can click here to get the complete list of picket locations in DC, Maryland and 16 VA locations just added!
