At the side of the Occupy movement for a month (see our dispatch No.  110600), trade unions are now getting the Occupants’ support, although the latter are rarely union members.  In Washington, D.C., today, Wednesday, November 2nd, they will once against march alongside the Communication Workers of America (CWA) and their allies within the framework of the campaign organized against Verizon outside the negotiations of the telecommunications group’s new social contract.  At the end of last week in New York, "Occupy protesters accounted for several hundred demonstrators out of 1,500” the union says, adding that about twenty of its new york members spent the night in Zucotti park.
