[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2207681, member: 5485"] Here's a couple of wins from the NYT. It will be interesting to see if more retail stores go union. With the recent push to boost the federal minimum wage, it's possible that this might gain traction fur those workers. "The four-year contracts would give workers a nearly 11 percent increase in pay over all, up from the 6.5 percent increase that Verizon had proposed before the strike, as well as modest ratification bonuses and profit-sharing. Significantly, the new contracts also cover some 65 unionized workers at Verizon Wireless stores, signaling the first time that retail wireless workers at the company have been included in a union contract, a potentially important precedent."
