IBEW, CWA: 'Our Unions Oppose Violence in Any Form'
WASHINGTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the
Communications Workers of America issued the following statement:
"The issues at stake in this strike are critical, for our 45,000 members
and their families who are fighting for the American Dream and for the
millions of American families who are being pushed out of the middle
class. They are looking to CWA and IBEW members to lead the way.
We fully expect that union members will respect and follow the law. Our
unions do not condone violence in any form.
Safety is paramount, and that's why we're also calling on Verizon to
make sure that our members on the picket lines aren't hurt by
replacement workers and management while the strike continues.
We want a fair contract that enables Verizon workers to keep their
middle class standard of living."
