Bargaining Report #8: Monday, July 18, 2011

After meeting with Verizon locals from around the country to gather support for our fight against corporate greed, your CWA District 1, IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Local and Regional Bargaining Committees resumed negotiations with Verizon at the Ryetown Hilton in Rye, NY today. Your union teams presented proposals covering numerous issues ranging from work rules to benefits and compensation. Discussions will resume tomorrow.

Locals should continue conducting their strike votes and preparing for the July 30, 2011 rally at Verizon Headquarters at 140 West St in NY City.  Members from all areas of the Verizon footprint will be joining us in the fight to protect our wages, benefits and working conditions. Every member from every Local should be at this Rally to send a message to Verizon.

Call your Steward – Call your Local
