Washington, DC–The National Consumers League today applauded the news that the 45-day work stoppage at Verizon has reached a successful conclusion. The following statement is attributable to Sally Greenberg, executive director of NCL:
“The agreement in principle to resolve the concerns of striking workers from CWA and IBEW is an example of how business and labor can come together for mutual benefit. Giving workers a seat at the table is in the best tradition of American commerce. Good jobs with good wages and benefits help working families do well, which benefits the overall economy. We applaud, in particular, the assistance of a talented and determined Secretary of Labor in helping the parties reach this important agreement.”
