Dear Colleagues,
Vodafone Portugal has unjustly dismissed Ana Boturãoa, a member of the Executive Board of the Sindicato Nacional Dos Trabalhadores Dos Correios E Telecomunicacoes (SNTCT). SNTCT is the union that represents Vodafone workers in Portugal-one of the few places were Vodafone workers are union.
Vodafone is the largest wireless company in the world and owns 45% of Verizon Wireless. Vodafone is notorious for its anti-union stance and has fought unionization around the world. Its partner in the US, Verizon Wireless, has been brutal in its anti-union tactics.
The reason for Sister Ana's dismissal is based on fabricated allegations and is undoubtedly linked to an attempt by Vodafone Portugal to stop unionization in the workplace.
Please send a protest message by filling in the "Click n Go" message at the following location:

All messages go directly to the President of Vodafone Portugal and to Arun Sarin, CEO of the Vodafone group.
Your support is crucial in the attempts to get Ana reinstated in Vodafone and it just takes less than a minute of your time to complete.
Thank you for your support.
In Solidarity
Larry Cohen, CWA Executive Vice President
