Transcript: Executive Vice President Angel Feliciano Speaking;

“The Local and Regional bargaining teams resumed negotiations with Verizon at the Rye Town Hilton. The committees presented additional union proposals. The committees also pressed the company for answers on questions from previous sessions. The company will be providing some of those answers tomorrow. The company has not responded to any of our proposals at the regional table. 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. The Rally will begin at 11:00am. 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.

Thank you for calling and please stay in touch with these tapes”.
