Verizon Regional Bargaining Report # 12

There are no meetings scheduled with the Mid-Atlantic Bargaining Team and the Company today. The regional bargaining committee is reviewing the pension information provided by the company yesterday and working on an appropriate response to the Company’s pension proposal.

The Bargaining committee is also working on our proposal to bring work back to the Mid-Atlantic Region. We are currently reviewing data associated with this proposal and will attempt to protect all work from being contracted out as well as returning work previously removed from the bargaining unit.

All Local and Regional tables are scheduled to meet with the company early next week as the expiration of our contracts nears.

Locals need to continue with their strike authorization votes and planning for the rally in New York City on Saturday, July 25th. This is our day to show Verizon that we are serious about protecting our families’ futures in this round of bargaining. Every member should make a commitment to be there to show Verizon THIS IS OUR TIME and we will stand up together and fight for what is ours.
