Verizon Regional Bargaining Report # 9

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Bargaining Committee met with the Company this morning and passed several proposals regarding, Increases to Incidental Absence Caps, Breach of Identity Security Protection, Increases to Supplemental Pension Benefits and the Regional Associate Mobility Plan (RAMP).

In addition, the Union rejected the Company’s information request for copies of all contracts CWA holds with other telecommunication companies. CWA stated there is no relevance in their request of such information to what is taking place at this bargaining table.

The Company had no proposals for the Union today.

Your bargaining committee continues reviewing information provided by the company on the Pension and 401K plans. We are also working on our remaining agenda items to present to Vz on Monday, July 13th.

As we work to get a fair contract that ensures job security and other protections for all members, we ask that the mobilization efforts continue in the field. Everyone should be making plans to attend the rally in New York on July 25th.
