Brothers and Sisters,

Happy New Year from your Executive Board!

We are currently facing many challenges and we know there are more to come. We need to fight to protect our contracts because our futures depend on it.

Verizon does not have a contract and AT&T’s contract expires next year. Please make sure that you are registered at www.UnityatVerizon.com to get the latest updates on Union issues. Many Unions and public workers have joined us to help fight for economic and social justice. We know that many companies are watching the Verizon negotiations to see what happens.

Verizon has already stated that they are not deploying FIOS in any new markets. We also got the news that Verizon Wireless agreed to purchase Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum licenses for 3.6 billion from Spectrum Company, the joint venture of Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. Verizon is determined to shrink their unionized work force.

We have a huge job ahead of us and we all need to work together. As information becomes available to us, we will make sure it becomes available to you. Continue to check our website at www.cwalocal1022.org and on Facebook www.facebook/cwa1022 and Twitter www.twitter.com/cwalocal1022.

Happy and Healthy New Year to all of you

The Executive Board

The triangle symbolizes the three major programs of the Union: representation, organizing, and community/political action. None can stand alone. If the triangle is broken on any side, sooner or later it will be broken on every side. CWA's founding president, Joseph Beirne, called this the "triple threat."
