Virginia Political Activists Leaflet Verizon Call Centers

CWA D 2-13 VP Ed Mooney joins activists from Local 2201 in leafleting at a Verizon worksite.

CWA District 2-13 Vice President Ed Mooney joined activists in leafleting the 600 CWAers who work at two Verizon customer service centers outside Richmond, Va., on Oct. 10.

"People were very receptive, and we handed out hundreds of flyers, plus bumper stickers and pins," said CWA Local 2201 Secretary-Treasurer Robbie Johnson.

Johnson and State Legislative-Political Action Team Coordinator Kerri Ross said worksite leafleting was in full swing every week until Election Day.

Mooney said, "In Virginia, as in many other states, it all comes down to turnout. CWA members know there's a big difference between President Obama and Governor Romney when it comes to workers' rights and keeping good jobs here in the U.S. Between now and Election Day, we're taking that message to workplaces throughout District 2-13, and we won't stop until we get our members out to vote."
