Verizon Bargaining 2011: Report # 44

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Bargaining Committee met with the company today to answer questions the Company had regarding our comprehensive proposal they received on October 3, 2011. Our bargaining team explained the rationale behind our proposal to address the company's concerns. The Company informed us they are assessing the costs associated with our proposal and they intend to respond to us on Thursday.

The Union then asked the Company to respond to several unanswered questions regarding contract labor. The response generated additional concerns we feel the Company needs to address.

We will send out additional updates with the most up to date information as it becomes available.
