Video: CWA workers picket Verizon on State Street
Posted on August 8, 2011 at 12:08 pm by Casey Seiler, Capitol bureau chief in Unions

Here’s video from around 11:30 a.m. outside the Verizon office across from the Capitol, where Communications Workers of America members are letting the telecom company know they won’t be back on the job until the company ends its “Wisconsin-style tactics” during contract negotiations. Some 45,000 Verizon workers went on strike Sunday.

Fortune’s Scott Woolley compares Verizon’s situation to the circumstances faced by Detroit in the past decade.

(The picketer who can be heard near the end of the video went on to ask me where I was from. “Times Union.” “Are you sure?” “I’m absolutely sure.”)

Here is example of what gives good union members and the union such a bad name and angers the population:
