IBEW Local 2222 President Ed Fitzpatrick addresses the crowd in front of Verizon Headquarters in Boston

Just one Man speaking to a group of Men about injustice, disrespect, and unfairness in the workplace.  This is good stuff everyone...You can feel the fear, trepidation, and uncertainty with this guy yet you can hear the fight, resolve, and braveness in his words.  Hang Tough!

IBEW Local 2321 Business Manager Ed Starr said, "Verizon continues to unfairly discipline people in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Currently there are hundreds of union members suspended or fired.  Every IBEW and CWA member needs to be aware of this as we fight for our jobs and for a new contract.  Remember the wages and benefits that we all enjoy are the result of more senior people striking this company to win what we have.  The solidarity of every member needs to be our priority!"

Although slavery was officially banned in the United States more than 130 years ago, some immigrant workers who pick the crops that end up on our dinner tables still are enslaved.
