Nearly 40,000 Verizon Workers Go on Strike Along East Coast
-----------------------------------------------------------

Nearly 40,000 Verizon workers on the East Coast have walked off the job,
marking one of the biggest U.S. strikes in years. The workers have been
without a contract since August amid attempts by Verizon to cut pensions
and ease the outsourcing of work. Pickets are expected at hundreds of
Verizon sites from Massachusetts to Virginia. Verizon says it's trained
thousands of non-union employees to fill in.
