The Communications Workers of America efforts to organize Verizon Wireless is gaining some traction. In late January the CWA demonstrated at Verizon's New York headquarters, circulating a petition singed by more than 3,000 Verizon workers supporting the union. The CWA says Verizon's anti-union campaign could be backfiring. The union says Verizon workers have been signing up for union representation at a faster pace since the January demonstration, including 150 technicians from Verizon Business who recently signed an open letter to the company saying they want a union. One signer was John Lindner, a Long Island field tech serving in Iraq.
