Verizon Workers Walk Off Jobs And Strike

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 13: Hundreds of Verizon workers strike outside of the telecommunications company's Brooklyn offices on April 13, 2016 in New York City. Across the nation nearly 40,000 Verizon workers with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) walked off their jobs Wednesday demanding a new contract. The workers' contract expired in August, and Verizon management has yet to negotiate a new one citing issues with health care expenses for its retired and current employees.
