A Verizon Strike Solidarity Fund has been created to assist striking families with special needs who are facing very difficult financial circumstances as the strike at Verizon continues. In announcing the creation of the fund this week, CWA Secretary-Treasurer Annie Hill is urging CWA members and staff to contribute to support workers who have special needs.
"While we are fortunate enough to have a Members Relief Fund to give some assistance, there are always circumstances that are out of the ordinary where we would all like to do more. We have established a Solidarity Fund for just this purpose," said Hill. This could include extraordinary expenses for a child with a chronic medical condition, or for support with an aging parent with expensive care.
