Agreement in Principle Reached with Verizon

Verizon Bargaining Update Sunday, August 10, 2008

After many months of bargaining with Verizon Communications, our united bargaining committees have reached an agreement in principle with management pending document review.

Throughout this process, we focused on ensuring our place in the work of the future. Our critical goals also included health care for active and retired workers, retirement security and a fair wage increase.

The involvement and mobilization of tens of thousands of our members made a huge difference in these negotiations. Together, all of us together showed our strength, our commitment and our determination to get the best possible agreement.

We’re proud to have represented the 65,000 union members at Verizon in these negotiations.
