Verizon Regional Bargaining Report # 22

The Mid-Atlantic Bargaining Committee has yet to hear from the Company today. As the contract expiration approaches your bargaining team remains ready to meet with the Company to bargain. Instead of focusing on negotiating a new agreement before expiration, Verizon has spent every resource available to mislead the public and intimidate employees over the last month. Through it all, our members have been unyielding with their goal to obtain a fair agreement and preserve our standard of living.

Mobilization in the field has gotten the Company’s attention and they are concerned what tonight will bring. Rest assured your committee has your back on this one!! The ball is in the Company’s court at this time.

This morning the bargaining committee participated in a rally with hundreds of active and retired members here in Philadelphia who took to the streets and marched past the company’s hotel to let them know our dissatisfaction.

Your bargaining team will keep you updated as the evening progresses. Stay strong, stay focused and stay committed.
