Regional Bargaining Report #15

CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Regional Teams met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, NY. The Union presented additional proposals to the Company. The company asked questions about the Union’s initial set of proposals but made no movement on addressing any of the Union’s concerns. Verizon has not shown that they are serious about reaching an agreement with the Union or about having serious discussions around the issues to get to an agreement.  

The members in District 1 and IBEW Local 2213 overwhelming voted to authorize a strike.  

It is time for every member to tell their managers to go to bargaining table and begin negotiating with your Union.    

VP Joe Manley-Let's rock NYC like we did in 2008

Thousands of CWA and IBEW members and retirees will be at this Saturday’s Rally at 11AM at Verizon headquarters at 140 West Street in New York City to tell Verizon that it is time to invest in America and to bring Good Jobs back into the bargaining unit.
