Tony Caprara, Speaking
 
Verizon has notified the National Union that they intend to use independent Contractors to perform all the work associated with the following functions:
  1. Corporate Telecom Services
  2. Cable Locate Work
  3. Coin Collection Work
  4. Fiber Solutions Center Work
 
We have responded to the Company,-- that their notification to us was a wake up call to our membership.---- Clearly this notification shows their intent to move all the work to contractors.--- This was not a simple “six (6) month notification letter” but part of a Strategic Corporate Plan to destroy our bargaining unit.--- If Verizon believes they can destroy our Union they should know that they may get destroyed in the process.
 
It is time for every member to send a message to their managers. We have had enough.-- We are tired of Verizon sending our work to contractors. ---We are not taking it any more. It’s time to Fight Back !
 
Beginning April 4, 2011, on the National Day of Action, CWA will join forces with all Unions in this country and form a coalition with many organizations in this country to fight back.
 
Every member must be ready to Mobilize on April 4, 2011.---- There will be Mobilization activates at our  worksite during the day and there will be separate events in the evening throughout the country and in your area. ----We will have more details about both activities next week.
 
On April 4, 2011 let’s send Verizon and the rest of Corporate America a clear message and tell them exactly what we feel about their notification letter.----- We are tired of Verizon sending our work to contractors. We have had enough. It’s time to Fight Back !!
 
Thank You for Calling and have a safe day

YOU ARE THE UNION

UNION BEGINS WITH

 YOU 

MOST PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE "UNION" IS THE BOARD, 

THE PEOPLE WHO "RUN" THE UNION. THIS COULD NOT  

BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 

THE "UNION" IS YOU: YOU ARE THE ONE WHO 

ELECTS YOUR OFFICIALS TO REPRESENT YOU. YOU ARE 

THE ONE WHO HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO YOUR 

MEETINGS AND SPEAK WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, TO LET

YOUR BOARD KNOW OF ANY GRIEVANCE YOU MAY HAVE. 

A STRONG UNION IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS MEMBERS. 

SHOW VERIZON YOU STAND BEHIND YOUR UNION, ATTEND 

MEETINGS, REPORT INFRACTIONS BY MANAGEMENT TO YOUR 

SHOP STEWARD OR LOCAL WHEN THEY OCCUR. YOU WILL 

NEVER AGREE WITH 100% OF WHAT YOUR LOCAL DOES OR 

DOESN'T DO. BUT, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET PAST  

THAT AND CARRY ON AND CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR YOUR 

RIGHTS. REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE EYES AND EARS OF YOUR

UNION. WITHOUT YOU...THERE WOULD BE NO "UNION". 

REMEMBER AGAIN UNION STARTS WITH U...N...I...
