Watch "A Tale of Two Companies"

In this 8-minute video, employees at the nation's two largest wireless companies – Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless – describe the stark differences in how the companies treat workers. Cingular Wireless, the nation's largest wireless company, respects their employees' right to organize and belong to unions. More than 80 percent of Cingular's employees, or 38,000 workers, have gained representation with the Communications Workers of America.

Despite saying how good they treat workers, top management at Verizon has aggressively fought efforts by its Verizon Wireless employees to form unions. It does not respect its workers' legal rights under the law to organize and form unions. Recently, Verizon, one of the nation's most profitable companies, froze the pensions of its managers and unrepresented employees at Verizon Communications.
