VCS Bargaining 2011: Report # 37

14 Dec, 2011

Your VCS Bargaining Team met with the Company on Tuesday at which time the Company presented your Committee a “package” that they wanted us to consider. This was the Company’s “attempt” to move the bargaining process forward but unfortunately the majority of their items in this “package” still included RETROGRESSIVE demands that your Committee has rejected previously. Today your Committee closely reviewed the Company’s “package” and will continue to do so and prior to our next meeting we will prepare our response to them. It does not appear that the Union and Company will meet again prior to January 1, 2012 and we hope between now and then that the Company will learn what the definition of RETROGRESSIVE is and upon our return to the table they discontinue their efforts in that direction. We will continue to work towards a FAIR AND EQUITABLE agreement and with your continued support we can accomplish that goal. We still need each of you on a daily basis to let this Company know THAT WE WILL NOT GO BACK. We must continue to pressure the Company and part of that pressure must be directed at the Verizon Wireless Stores in your area. We must be out there at these Stores, under the direction of your Local, passing out flyers to the general public on a daily basis letting them know what Verizon is attempting to do to all of us and about their GREED. If we do this at these Stores the Company will begin to feel the results of our efforts. THIS IS A MUST!! Thanks for your support up to now and with your continued support WE WILL PREVAIL!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A JOYOUS NEW YEAR!!!
