The scheduled strike by Communications Workers of America (CWA) members against Verizon Wireless provides another opportunity for PBA members to show their solidarity with fellow unionists.

Verizon managers are attempting to hire private security and other fill-in workers in anticipation of this walkout and, as often happens, many of these targeted hires will be off-duty police officers. If you have been approached to work in any capacity in this situation or in the event that you will be, we urge you strongly not to accept that job in the context of this labor dispute. PBA members must show solidarity with other union members during labor disputes.

We must remember how strongly the CWA members supported us at our Times Square rally and at all the other events we staged to get our salary message out to the press, politicians and public.

Please don’t accept employment as security or as a replacement worker for striking CWA members. It’s time for us to repay their support in kind.

Fraternally,

Patrick J. Lynch
President
