question for Nathan

[Eric Beck]

Today's New York Times said this, in passing, in its "news analysis" of the
Verizon strike (which mostly shrugs off the importance of the agreement):

"The expedited organizing that Verizon agreed to covers only a quarter of
the wireless unit employees."

I assume the writer is talking about the card-check provision. I haven't
been able to find anything on the IBEW, CWA, or Verizon websites that
confirms or denies this. Is this true, or is he being obfuscatory? If it is
true, why only a quarter? And could the union have done better?
