Bargaining Report # 64

Thursday, September 13, 2012

Bargaining continues in New York with the Federal Mediators. CWA, IBEW and Verizon are still under the Guidelines imposed by the Mediators which includes that no information can be released by either party concerning the progress of these negotiations.

CWA District 1 and IBEW New England as well as CWA District 2-13 and IBEW Local 827 have been meeting in New York since last week. Because of the agreed upon blackout, there is no news of progress or non-progress to report. Once we have information that can be released, we will announce it immediately.

Our members must continue to mobilize and we MUST let management know that we want a fair contract.
