As a result of the strike, Local 888's FAX machine is down.

Verizon workers are on strike to create a better workplace for themselves and future employees. They are standing together to make sure the needs of working families are met, instead of standing by as a handful of corporate executives get richer and richer.

They are standing together because Verizon has fired, threatened, and intimidated working people at Verizon Wireless who are trying to create a better future for themselves and their families.

They are standing together because they want to earn a living in their own communities instead of moving away from our homes and their families for months at a time. They want good jobs to stay in the United States, not be sent overseas.

Now is the time for all of us to stand together to make sure that working people at Verizon can not only make a good living, but also have a good life.
