Regional Bargaining Report # 31 Sunday, August 14, 2011 10 PM CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Regional Committees met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, NY. The Union had more questions for the company regarding some of their proposal that were discussed yesterday. The company asked for a recess to research these questions so that they could answer our questions and concerns. We are scheduled to resume talks tomorrow morning. Moment of Silence – Tomorrow at Noon Tomorrow is the 22nd anniversary of Gerry Horgan's death. Local 1103 is having a wreath laying ceremony which they do each year at the location where Gerry was run down. We would like a moment of silence at Noon tomorrow at every Picket Location. Every Local should remind their members of the Day that Gerry died while picketing during the “Strike of 1989” and honor his death with a moment of silence. CWA will never forget Gerry Horgan and his sacrifice. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Your efforts will make the difference in fighting back the Company’s retrogressive demands for unprecedented givebacks. The Picket lines and mobilized picketing has never been better. We will not allow VERIZON to destroy the Middle Class Stay Strong – Stay United Mobilize! – Mobilize! – Mobilize!
