(Reuters) – Verizon Communications Inc. said its wireline employees launched a strike on Wednesday after unions and management failed to reach an agreement on a new labor contract.
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers had called for a strike on Monday after an impasse in contract talks.
The unions jointly represent nearly 40,000 employees in Verizon’s wireline operations, which include Fios Internet, telephone and TV services.
