CWA/IBEW Verizon Bargaining Report: Sunday, 8-3-08 @9 pm

The Unions and the Company have been in intense bargaining at all levels throughout the day and will continue to take place until either an agreement is reached or it is clear that we can not.  The clock remains frozen at 11:59PM  8-2-08.

The company is fully aware of our members support and readiness for a strike and things are now moving that have not moved in months.  We understand the anxiousness for specifics and details but the pace at which things are changing would make any report obsolete before we could get it out.

We have come a long way together and we have more to do.  Keep up our Mobilization, Stay united, we all know you are there.  Members should report to work for their regular scheduled tour on Monday August 4.  Should it become necessary to start the clock causing our current agreement to expire, a strike could still be authorized.  We will keep you posted.
