Pickets continue at Verizon Wireless stores

Verizon has still not signed a contract to end the strike by tens of thousands of Verizon and Verizon Wireless workers. Pickets are ongoing at Verizon Wireless stores all over DC. On Tuesday, May 10 one of these pickets was at the L st and Connecticut Ave stores.

One of the picketers told me that he was on the second shift of picketers that day at that store. So long as Verizon bosses refuse to sign a contract, workers will keep picketing their stores. Picketers are asking customers NOT to shop at Verizon Wireless. Given that network reliablity continues to deteriorate without maintainance workers, this would not be a good time to buy Verizon anyway.
