By MIKE CARRAGGI (Patch Staff)

BURLINGTON, MA - Nearly 40,000 Verizon workers went on strike Wednesday morning at 6 a.m., which could mean delays of weeks to reconnect many of the company's 140 million customers who lose cable television or their internet connections and even longer waits for new subscribers wanting its FIOS and mobile services.

Some of the first picketing was set for a Burlington location.

According to standuptoverizon.com, picketing will begin at 6 a.m. at 51 South Bedford St. A rally will begin at the same time in Boston.
