UFT members joined the picket lines outside Verizon Wireless stores on May 20 in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn in support of striking Verizon workers. The strike, which began on April 13, involved nearly 40,000 union members, who walked out over unfair labor practices. The six-week strike ended on May 27, when the two sides reached a tentative agreement.Â
