CWA/IBEW Verizon Bargaining Report: Wednesday 8-06-08 @7:30pm

Negotiations continued throughout the day and will continue into the evening. We've made some progress but not enough.

As we said earlier, we will do whatever it takes to secure our contract, one way or another. That means we'll get it done at the bargaining table or on the picket line.

We're stepping up our mobilization because we know it makes a real difference. Plans are in the works for worksite rallies on Friday to focus more attention on our fight for jobs and a fair contract. So stick with the mobe plan, check with your local about actions and stay strong and ready.

If progress stops, we'll all stop.
