 The deadline for negotiations is
midnight on Sunday, August 10. As of 12:01 a.m. Monday
morning, our current contracts will
expire.
Verizon must stop dragging its
feet. We chose to stop the clock last Saturday night because we
were making good progress in negotiations on our critical
issues. That progress has become slower and slower as the
company drags its feet. Negotiations are continuing at this
time. Among the critical issues: permanent, quality jobs at
Verizon and other job issues, health care and retirement
security, a fair wage settlement and others.
Dozens of "Ready to Walk"
rallies happened before work this morning and thousands
more members will rally at noon today at
worksites. Bigger rallies will happen in larger
