Verizon Regional Bargaining Report: January 15, 2016

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Bargaining Committee met with the company today in Philadelphia. After high-level discussions during the last few weeks the Union bargaining teams assembled earlier this week and prepared a comprehensive proposal which they presented to the Company at today's session. CWA and IBEW bargainers believe the comprehensive proposal addresses the Company's issues related to Healthcare costs and secures provisions for Wages, Pensions and Working Conditions our members need for a fair agreement.

Talks have recessed pending the Company's response to the Union's proposal.

Your Bargaining Committee asks that every active and retired member let the Company know that if the Company is NOT serious about getting a contract, we are ready to do whatever it takes to secure our futures.
