Local Bargaining Report #2

Friday July 1, 2011

The Potomac Local Bargaining team met with Verizon today. CWA passed several information requests concerning the company’s proposals. We then had some frank discussions about several of the proposals placed on the table earlier this week. The company bargaining team provided some clarification about the meaning and reasoning for those proposals. The Union team acknowledged we will have further discussion on their proposals after CWA receives the information from the data requests. CWA also passed an additional proposal today concerning forced overtime.

The Local Bargaining table has recessed until the week of July 17th due to the CWA Convention. We will reconvene that week with both Common Issues and Local Issues bargaining.

Once again your Potomac Bargaining Team cannot stress enough the only way we are going to win this fight and obtain the contract we can all be proud of is with the support of you, our members.

We stand unified and ready to fight for your Wages, Benefits and Working Conditions.

We stand unified and ready to fight for the fair contract we deserve. With your help we will get there.

Reminder to save Saturday July 30, 2011

In Solidarity, we will last one day longer than Verizon. Stay Together. Stand Strong.

Now more than ever we need to mobilize!
