Verizon Edges Out Walmart for Scrooge of the Year
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)After a close race, union-busting telecom giant Verizon was declared the 2011
“Scrooge of the Year,” at the DC Jobs with Justice (JwJ) Winter Cabaret last
Saturday. Unsuccessful Scrooge candidates included runner-up Walmart, along with
Solanges Vivens and the Capital Grille. JwJ will “celebrate”
Verizon’s victory -- and the holiday season -- by singing specially-adapted
holiday carols outside Verizon in DC. For details on the upcoming Verizon
caroling, contact Lillian at lshelton@dclaborarchives.org,
