Members of Local 1104 voted overwhelmingly to strike if necessary. Other CWA locals will report their votes by July 27th. Take notice, Verizon: We are ready to walk!

Your Union Bargaining teams collectively have decades of bargaining experience. In all of our experience we have never seen such an aggressive agenda as the package of proposals the Company brought to the table today. Verizon has made it clear they want to take away almost every protection we have as Union workers.

Over the last several months, more than 3,000 CWA active and retired members have taken part in mobilization workshops. The all-day workshop analyzes Verizon?s anti-union strategy, the bargaining climate, and building an effective campaign to fight back.
