(August 1, 2003)<\/b> \u2013 With a disruptive telecommunications strike imminent from Virginia to Maine, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation today announced that it will offer free legal aid to non-striking Verizon workers who are targeted for illegal harassment or violence during the strike ordered by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union.<\/p>\n<p>According to news reports, during the last CWA union strike against Verizon in 2000, there were \u201c455 incidences of threats to workers, vandalism, and assaults\u201d attributed to the strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith union officials ordering employees off the job, employees who courageously continue to work often face violence and other ugly forms of retaliation,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cThe Foundation and its staff attorneys are prepared to provide free legal aid to workers who are victims of union coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The union\u2019s strike centers, in part, on its attempt to force Verizon\u2019s management to agree to assist the union in organizing Verizon Wireless \u2013 despite the fact that those employees have previously rejected union organizing drives.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of history shows that union officials frequently call strikes to seize more authority over employees, rather than to seek additional employee benefits.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a documented history of violence, the CWA union hierarchy has a long history of fining and suing employees who continue to work to support their families.  The only way to escape these fines and union lawsuits is for non-striking employees to resign from formal union membership before returning to work.  However union officials frequently deceive employees about their right to resign, or they simply refuse to honor employees\u2019 resignations from membership.<\/p>\n<p><b>Important Information For Workers:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrtw.org\/a\/a_7_p.htm\">What if I want to work during a strike?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrtw.org\/legal.htm\">Request Legal Help<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPRINGFIELD, Va.
