Labor activists will rally outside the DC Public Service Commission early
Thursday morning to demand the Commission hold Verizon accountable for
scapegoating workers for its poor service and refusal to invest in DC. Verizon
“recently made an agreement with the DC City Council to improve service by
addressing worker training and customer service issues,” says the Connect-DC coalition, which is
organizing the rally. “Verizon would have you believe it's their workers'
fault… But the real root of the problem is Verizon's continued failure to
invest in its DC networks.”
