Union Talks With Verizon
Continue
WASHINGTON, DCOn Wednesday, the unions bargaining
with Verizon exchanged proposals and continued to discuss details
of a variety of proposals. Job security remains a key issue for union
negotiators, a joint bargaining committee of representatives from
the IBEW and the Communications Workers of America.
Though Verizon issued a statement late yesterday
implying that an agreement was imminent, union negotiators cautioned
that some points remain unresolved.
The IBEW represents 25,000 Verizon workers in
New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, covered by this
contract.
