'It’s time we have a seat at the table.'
While Starbucks workers across the nation continue to push for unionization, local Verizon employees are taking up a similar effort, after a pair of locations voted to unionize last Friday.The union vote came from Verizon retail workers in Everett and Lynnwood, following what they say had been “years of retaliation by senior management and poor working conditions, including understaffing and unlivable wages.
Workers further allege that the company has engaged in a “long history of union-busting,” pointing to “an aggressive anti-union campaign amid organizing efforts at its retail stores in Brooklyn” in 2014. Verizon employees in BrooklynToday, Lynnwood and Everett workers cite a recent union push by Seattle-area Starbucks employees as the impetus for their own movement.
Responding to this week’s union vote, the company claimed that “tens of thousands” of Verizon employees have “indicated time and again they prefer having direct contact with their manager” over involving a union representation.
