CWA, IBEW Reach Agreement on Bargaining with Verizon; Members to Return to Work Tuesday, August 23



Washington, D.C. - Members of CWA and IBEW at Verizon Communications will return to work on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at which time the contract will be back in force for an indefinite period.

We have reached agreement with Verizon on how bargaining will proceed and how it will be restructured. The major issues remain to be discussed, but overall, issues now are focused and narrowed.

We appreciate the unity of our members and the support of so many in the greater community. Now we will focus on bargaining fairly and moving forward.

NOTE: All Jobs with Justice pickets are cancelled because of this agreement. Thanks to all for your support!
