Retired Member John
Estes is our local "Dinosaur Man.!
Over the past several years, John has been an
ambassador of good will to elementary schools all over the tri-state
area. He announced at the January 2012 Retired Members Meeting
that 159 elementary schools have now received his hand made dinosaurs.
Roger Grimes has accompanied him on a number of visits to the schools.
We thank John for being such a fine representative of our CWA Local
2105 Retired Members Chapter and we congratulate him on sharing
his time and talents with thousands of youngsters. CWA has long
been known as the "Community Minded
Union" and John is a shining example.

Verizon is looking at everything our
members are posting on-line. Remind our members, especially
those who are active Verizon employees, to be careful not to post
anything on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media site that in
any way could jeopardize either their own or their fellow
Union members' employment.
"Our labor unions are not narrow, self-seeking groups. They have raised wages, shortened hours and provided supplemental benefits. Through collective bargaining and grievance procedures, they have brought justice and democracy to the shop floor."
