Noontime Strikers' Rally in Center City

An estimated 2,000 striking CWA Local 13000 workers and their allies marched through Center City Philadelphia on Friday, August 19, and rallied in front of the Verizon offices at 900 Arch Street. Along with a spirited showing from CWA members, there was a strong outpouring of support from Jobs with Justice, Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO, Teamsters, Laborers, PASNAP, SEIU, Unite HERE, AFSCME, AFGE, teachers unions, and others. 

Striking CWA members and their allies wall-to-wall in the 900 block of Race Street in Center City.
Philly Jobs with Justice will have a regular picket in solidarity with striking CWA workers at the Verizon Wireless store, 1115 Market Street (Reading Terminal), on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (or longer). Please stand with us!
