Verizon Regional Bargaining Report # 46

The Mid Atlantic Bargaining Committee met with the company today in Philadelphia. The company passed a modified proposal outlining modifications to the Sickness and Accident Disability Plan, Evaluative Observations and the Electronic Monitoring of Calls. The company also withdrew a proposal regarding notification requirements of a Technological Change. The Bargaining Committee will review the current company proposals and respond appropriately.

After nearly six months of negotiations with the company, almost every one of their retrogressive demands are still on the table. Every CWA member needs to turn up the heat on mobilization efforts in order to turn the corner and win a fair and equitable contract. While there are no scheduled meetings next week due to the Thanksgiving Holiday the Union advised the company that they are available to meet in an effort to move negotiations along.
