38,000 CWA Members are still waiting for Verizon to get serious and bargain a fair contract.  With only 3 days left on the contract and a real possiblility of a long strike, our actions will speak louder than words.  CWA Local 1103 Members are invited to attend a Strike Watch at our Union Hall 345 Westchester Ave, Port Chester NY 10573 from 6pm - midnight as we wait for word from our leadership if we are striking this greedy company.  Food, Beverages and Fellowship with Unions, Elected Public Servants and the Press will be onhand.  Also on Sunday July 2nd 2015 the Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body will be hosting a picnic.  CWA Local 1103 is a sponsor of the picnic and is encouraging members to attend wearing red to let other Unions and our elected guest know if we are on Strike.  

Regional Bargaining Report # 24

CWA District 1 NY/NE

Wednesday, July 29, 2015

The CWA District 1, IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Regional Committees met with the Company today on an informal basis to continue discussions on issues involving Flexibility, Health Care, and Call Sharing.  We also received a presentation from the Company explaining the effects the sale of California, Florida, and Texas to Frontier will have on our members.   The Company sold these territories for $10.5 Billion but their “subject matter expert” couldn’t tell the Union what the Company plans to do with the profits of the sale.  The Union was adamant that the money should be invested back into the landline business to build Fios.   

The Company still has not begun to bargain seriously With only 3 days left until the expiration of our contract we need every member to participate in mobilization more than ever to send the Company a message that it is time to start bargaining a fair and just contract for our members and their employees.
