On Thursday, June 11, at 12 noon, we will take a stand against racism. We will stop working for 8 Minutes and 46 seconds.
We are asking Wireless Workers, even those not yet members of CWA, to join with our members to stop and reflect for 8 minutes and 46 seconds—to remember the length of time the Minneapolis police officer had his knee on George Floyd’s neck.
Obviously, many of us work under different circumstances. Many are still working at home. We urge you to observe the 8:46 in whatever way works best for you.
I think Wireless should challenge Verizon on their hollow platitudes about #BLM and take 8 minutes and 46 seconds of their time to show how unified we are.
