CWA Reaches Tentative Pact with VIS
CWA and Verizon Information Services reached a tentative agreement on Jan. 26, which, if approved by the membership, will end the 13-week strike by 300 VIS workers in New York.
CWA Locals 1105, 1122, and 1118 will hold contract explanation meetings and ratification votes between now and Feb. 2; the CWA bargaining team is strongly recommending ratification.
CWA District 1 Vice President Chris Shelton praised the determination and solidarity of the VIS workers. Our members "should be proud, for standing up for themselves and their brothers and sisters in a way that management never thought we were capable of," he said.
