CWA District 2-13 represents Verizon employees in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, DC. After an historic, 45-day strike with nearly 40,000 Verizon workers in 2016, CWA members achieved our major collective bargaining goals. An additional agreement was ratified in 2022 to extend that contract to August 1, 2026.  When we fight, we win!

U.S. Representatives from Across Country Express Concern over Proposed Verizon/Big Cable Deal

Today, 32 members of the U.S. House of Representatives released a letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski expressing concern about the proposed Verizon Wireless/Big Cable deal?s impact on consumers in their districts and across the country. The letter urges the FCC to ensure that the final agreement falls in line with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 by preserving a healthy level of competition in the industry. In its current form, the proposal would eliminate competition by allowing the companies to cross-market each other?s products?thereby killing or preventing the creation of thousands of jobs, deepening the digital divide between cities and wealthy suburbs, reducing consumer choice, and raising prices.
