Regional Bargaining Report # 7
Thursday June 30, 2011
The System Council T-6 as well as the CWA District 1 / IBEW Local 2213 Regional and Local Bargaining Teams met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, NY to continue discussions on health care. The Regional Committee has requested additional data and information from the Company and is scheduled to resume negotiations at 9 AM tomorrow.
Preparations are being made for strike votes to be held in all locals. Plans are also being made for a Rally at Verizon Headquarters in New York City at 140 West Street on July 30, 2011. We will supply more details next week but it is time to set aside this date and make plans to attend this Rally. Members from all three Districts from New England to Virginia as well as IBEW members from NY, NE, NJ and Pennsylvania will be attending.
The T-6 Council from New England met with the New England Labor Relations team late this evening to discuss local issues. The Union and the Company traded proposals that dealt with Local Bargaining in the New England Labor Agreement. The Union also addressed with the company, numerous information requests that the Company must respond to. Local Bargaining will continue next week with the New England team back home in Boston.
Remember that we need to continue to stand strong and get our message out that we are more committed than we’ve ever been to fight to protect our wages, benefits and working conditions.
STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR JOB
