Verizon Bargaining Report #1

Today, we began the 2016 negotiations with Verizon. Tony Shaffer, CWA Staff Representative, gave our opening statement and then yielded to Verizon to give theirs. The Company passed a comprehensive proposal to which your committee will be reviewing and assessing this evening. We ask that you stand strong and be prepared to fight for a fair and just contract for the members of this local. 

Remember, we have 18 days to expiration of this agreement. We ask that you wear your RED shirts on Thursday.

In Unity,

Your CWA Bargaining Committee:

Tony Shaffer

Ken Conner
