In Boston, 4,000 workers from across New England marched and rallied at a Dec. 8 Workers' Freedom Trail event in honor of International Human Rights Day. Following a kick-off rally, the workers, led by a town crier and bagpipers and drummers from Electrical Workers Local 103, marched to several locations, including a department store where unity groups successfully fought off attempts by Wal-Mart to locate in downtown Boston and a Verizon Wireless location, where workers from IBEW, Communications Workers of America and other unions have been forced to deal with Verizon Wireless's union-busting tactics of harassment and intimidation against workers.
