“We really want to legalize what we already have — we have very good benefits and 401K, but Verizon has been systematically taking things from us, and we want to put an end to that,” he said.

The workers voted to be represented by Communications Workers of America, which has more than 700,000 members nationwide.

Steve Yu, sales representative for two Verizon stores, came out to celebrate with co-workers and supporters during a Friday break. Yu had been with the company for 22 years and voted for the union. His biggest frustration has been Verizon’s changes to employee commission pay.

“We don’t want more disenfranchisement from us, and we don’t want more disenfranchisement from future employees,” Yu said.
