VERIZON PROXY VOTING
"Possible Interference"
The Union is concerned that someone may be attempting to
interfere with shareholders’ casting votes against management’s
recommendations at the upcoming Verizon annual meeting.
If you receive a phone call regarding your proxy, please take
careful notes, and try to get answers to the following questions:
- Name of caller
- Phone number they are calling from
- Company/organization they are calling from
Please pay particular attention to any instructions the caller
provides regarding how to vote your proxy.
Do not allow the caller to take your vote over the phone. While
it is possible to vote legitimately over the phone, typically this
is done by an automated process and requires you to provide the
control number printed on your proxy. If someone encourages you to
have them take down your vote over the phone, you should decline.
If you receive a phone call, please contact Tony Daley in the CWA
Research Department at 202 434-9515 or
tdaley@cwa-union.org

of Members of CWA/IBEW
Against Verizon!
Date: Thursday, May 3, 2007 at 9:00 am
Place: United Steelworkers Building – Courtyard
(Blvd of The Allies & Stanwix Street)

English, Bill George, Jack Shea, John DeFazio,

leaders.
This rally and march will set the stage for 2008 Verizon
bargaining. The 97,000 union members at Verizon are serious about
stopping the sale of access lines, job security, pensions,
active/retiree healthcare and a worker’s right to form a Union.
After the rally we will march to the Verizon Annual Meeting which
is being held at the Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh Hotel
located at 1000 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 at 10:30 am.
Please join us in the fighting against corporate greed and the
violation of worker rights.
Wear Red!
