Activists Rally to Hold Verizon Accountable

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Labor activists will rally outside the DC Public Service Commission early Thursday morning to demand the Commission hold Verizon accountable for scapegoating workers for its poor service and refusal to invest in DC. Verizon “recently made an agreement with the DC City Council to improve service by addressing worker training and customer service issues,” says the Connect-DC coalition, which is organizing the rally. “Verizon would have you believe it's their workers' fault… But the real root of the problem is Verizon's continued failure to invest in its DC networks.”
