Early Bargaining Talks Break Off

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

At 1 p.m. today, District One Vice President Chris Shelton notified Verizon Labor Relations that CWA was formally breaking off early negotiations. There was just no possibility of going further based on the onerous medical proposal Verizon put forward. The CWA Bargaining Teams have an interest in bargaining a fair and equitable contract and we are always available to listen to reasonable proposals, but we could never agree to the retrogressive demand Verizon put forth.
