Tell Verizon Wireless to stop hanging up on workers' rights

Verizon Wireless, one of the nation’s most popular wireless providers, is also gaining a reputation as one of the most anti-union.  The company has aggressively fought efforts by its employees to form unions to improve their workplace. 

Call out Verizon Wireless on its behavior.  Urge the company to let their workers have a free and fair chance to form a union. 

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Why Are You Hanging Up on Workers' Rights?

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

As a person who cares about the way a company treats its employees, I wanted to let you know how disappointed I was to hear that Verizon Wireless does not respect the rights of its workers.

Your workers deserve to be respected. If they want to form a union, the law allows them to do so without threats, interference, or loss of their jobs. Wanting a voice on the job should not put you in the unemployment line!

More and more employers, including top wireless companies, understand the value and importance of fair and respectful labor practices. These companies have my support and admiration. Please realize there is another way, and your workers deserve better.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
