| Considering how Verizon treats employees: Tell Verizon CEO: Respect Your Workers' Choice
A clear majority of Verizon Business workers in New York and New England signed authorization cards showing they want to be represented by a union. In addition, three members of Congress and high-level state and city officials have verified the choice of these workers.
But CEO Seidenberg still won't respect their free choice. He just won't listen.
On March 4, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) and Reps. Stephen Lynch and John Tierney of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray oversaw the count of Verizon Business workers' union authorization cards. They verified that 57 percent of the eligible workers signed cards saying they want a union. Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Anthony Weiner of New York and New York City Comptroller William Thompson Jr. stepped in and reaffirmed the workers' wishes a week and a half later.
But for CEO Seidenberg, the majority does not rule. He continues to act like a majority of one by denying his employees their basic freedom to choose whether or not they want to belong to a union. He continues to act as though his company neither relies on the goodwill of consumers across America, nor needs to adopt high standards of corporate social responsibility.

Oh Gawd. Does that crap still go on today?
Granted, by default any corporate management will be corrupt, greedy, and unethical.
But to invite organized crime into it? Great - I don't pay the 'union dues' and I end up without a job/having to take leave due to 'unspecified injuries'. Haven't the Verizon employees seen how the Bellsouth and SBC unions work? |
