WASHINGTON - With the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) across the country, workers at Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile, supported by the Communications Workers of America (CWA), are demanding both companies take immediate steps to protect their employees and consumers from COVID-19, including providing paid sick days without penalty and ensuring a safe workplace at every retail store selling phones to the public. While union-represented workers at AT&T Mobility have been able to work with company management to establish proper protocols and working conditions, most Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile workers do not have union representation.
