We were even able to achieve a ratification bonus.Next week, coverage on the Agreement will be held with the local presidents, and we are scheduling another Town Hall Meeting for the members. Your elected bargaining committee will be working on preparing a final bargaining report early next week. More to come…

Yesterday there were informal discussions between the Company and the Union. Some of the issues that you provided to us, such as COLA, Retroactive Pay, Wages, Job Security, Pensions, Differentials and On-call were shared with the Company. Additional items will be discussed later today. We are making every effort to work through the items you provided at our Town Hall Zoom meeting last week. We appreciate the input you provided and questions that you asked. Some of you have contacted me with additional questions and I welcome that.
Discussions will resume tomorrow.

**CWA/Verizon Bargaining Bulletin #9 July 14, 2025**
After meeting with many of you on our Zoom Town Hall meeting on July 9, 2025, we were able to get a much better idea of where you were in terms of this contract. Based on that information, we contacted the Company to schedule some dates to resume bargaining. Beginning tomorrow, we will meet with the company to discuss several issues that were raised in both the second survey and at our Town Hall. We’ll keep you posted as negotiations progress.
