‘No contract, no FIOS!’ – Verizon strikers rally across Brooklyn
Chanting “No contract, no FIOS!” hundreds of striking members of the Communications Workers of America held a massive rally – complete with inflated rat — in Cadman Plaza Park in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday.
The rally was just one of many staged across the city since roughly 36,000 CWA union members went on strike on Wednesday, protesting cutbacks in the wireline (as opposed to wireless) division.
Red-shirted Verizon workers demonstrated again on Friday in front of Verizon outlets, including one on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights.
