Verizon workers in nine states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware have voted to go on strike if necessary over a dispute about a new contract, a union official said at a rally Saturday."Our members are clear and they are determined," said Dennis Trainor, an official with the Communications Workers of America union.
Relief swept through Verizon garages and offices in the Northeast after unions at the telecommunications giant announced a settlement August 10 that buttressed health care for most workers and delivered healthy wage gains. The three-year offer, which would cover 55,000 Communication Workers (CWA) and more than 10,000 Electrical Workers (IBEW) from Maine to Virginia, came after two strike threats in early August and weeks of worksite rallies.
