Regional Bargaining Report # 37

CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Local Committees as well as the Mid-Atlantic Joint CWA/IBEW Regional Bargaining Committees are scheduled to meet in Rye Town, New York on Wednesday, August 31st to reconvene bargaining with Verizon.  This "reset" of the company's bargaining position was made possible by the tremendous strike and mobilization efforts of our members up and down the East Coast.  Our members made it clear that they would not allow this Verygreedy Corporation to destroy our collective bargaining rights nor would they allow them to destroy more middle class jobs.

Now your bargaining teams will return to address your issues at the bargaining table.  While we have returned to work, this fight is far from over.  We still have members who have been disciplined for strike related activities and we will not forget them.  We must continue to keep the pressure on Verizon.  We will continue to mobilize and we will continue to leaflet in front of Verizon Wireless stores across the country until we have secured a fair contract for our members.

We will not allow VERIZON to destroy the Middle Class

Stay Strong - Stay United
