Did you know that you can help out the Verizon strikers by bringing them water, coffee, ice, snacks or stuff like that?

As you may or may not know, Verizon workers are currently on strike. Over 30 days without pay, and now without health benefits. You may see them picketing outside Verizon stores nationwide. They’re wearing red shirts, and when there’s a rally, they may have the rat (the big inflatable rat).

They’re in a real struggle for keeping jobs in the US and good benefits, more than wages.

Did you know that you can stop by the picket line and walk with them, if you choose to? You can also bring them bottles of water, coffee, ice (for their ice chest), donuts, snacks or anything else you want. They’d appreciate it.

I walked the picket line with them the other day and participated in their rally, as I work for a nationwide organization that advocates for employees of the type that are striking for Verizon. Out there in the heat, glaring sun and walking up and down, they need all the help they can get.

Please consider helping out the strikers next time you see them.
