CWA Members Ratify Verizon
Contract
Washington, D.C. -- Members of the
Communications Workers of America at Verizon
Communications overwhelmingly ratified a three-year
agreement, approving the contract with a greater
than 90 percent "yes" vote.
The agreement achieves workers’ key
goals, including the creation of more than 2,500 new
union jobs through the elimination of subcontracting
in many job areas, the conversion of temporary jobs
to permanent ones, and new work on Verizon’s cutting
edge FiOS technology, for example. It provides for a
compounded wage increase of 10.87 percent over the
contract term, maintains quality health care for
active and retired workers and increases pension
bands.
The contract extends union
recognition to several hundred former MCI
technicians at Verizon Business who have been
seeking union representation for nearly two years,
and includes new opportunities for union workers to
provide customer support and service at Verizon
Business.
CWA President Larry Cohen called the
agreement "a breakthrough in many ways" and
commended Verizon management for its commitment to
work with CWA and others for real health care
reform.
The agreement covers more than 50,000
CWA-represented workers at Verizon; the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
represents another 15,000 in the Northeast.

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."
