Regional Bargaining Report # 22
Wednesday, August 3, 2011
The IBEW New England and CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 Regional Committees met today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, NY. With just 3 days before contract expiration, your bargaining committee spent the day reviewing data received from the company and also evaluating our proposals. We have rejected all but one of the Company’s proposals and we told them yesterday that they need to address our issues. We are still waiting for the Company to respond to our proposals.
The Company needs to get serious and begin bargaining with your Union. The clock is ticking and time is running out.
Verizon seems hell-bent on destroying the middle class jobs IBEW and CWA have fought so hard to create over the last 50 years of collective bargaining.
It is time that Verizon invests in America and brings Good Jobs back into the bargaining unit. Corporations like Verizon should not be destroying middle class jobs. They should be helping to rebuild the American economy and sharing their success with the workforce that made that possible.
Join us for the Rally for Working Families today at 6 pm in front of Verizon Headquarters on Franklin St. Boston. Buses will be leaving from 4 separate locations throughout Local 2325. Some space is left but limited. Call the office @ 508-853-2325 to get on the bus.
It’s time to fight back!
Turn up the Heat in your Work place
Mobilize! – Mobilize! – Mobilize!
Fraternally,
