Regional Bargaining Report # 17  

IBEW NY/NE and CWA District 1

Tuesday, July 21, 2015  

IBEW New England and CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 Regional Bargaining Committees met with the Company today at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye, New York.

This morning we met with the Company and rejected numerous sections of the Company’s proposal, including Job Security, Pensions, Force Adjustment Plan changes and more.

We also reminded the Company that they have not yet responded to a single Union Proposal at the Regional Table. We told them we need our issues addressed.

The Union also raised questions about the safety performance of the contractors who are working on poles in Suffolk County. At this point the Company has not provided answers regarding the issues that were raised by the Union.

All members should be aware of Verizon’s safety creed:

“The demands of the service or the urgency of the job are never so great that we cannot take time to perform our work safely”

This afternoon we met with the Company’s “subject matter expert” on Call Sharing. He explained that the Company’s proposal would allow them to contract out 100% of the work that is in the call share agreement (Reps, FSCs, EVRCs)

They claim it is not their intention to do so, but they want the flexibility to do whatever the hell they want.

The System Council T6 met with the company over Local issues this evening. The T6 passed another proposal addressing issues in Verizon Business. The company has yet to address a local proposal as of this date. We are looking for productive dialogue with the company over our local issues and have yet to get any. These local issues are as important as the regional ones and must be addressed. Another Local Table meeting is scheduled for tomorrow.

The Company needs to get serious and begin bargaining with your Union. The clock is ticking and time is running out.

Reminder…Contract Rally on Saturday July 25, at 140 West Street New York at 11 am. Buses are available. Please call the office. A New England Rally is scheduled for Thursday July 30th @ 6pm Bowdoin Sq. Boston. We will also provide buses for this rally. Call the office.

Mobilize!

THE JOB YOU SAVE WILL BE YOUR OWN !!!!!

HANG TOUGH, THE FIGHT IS ON

Fraternally,
