TAPE MESSAGE MONDAY April 12, 2010
In both this Local and CWA we have always taken the position that we did not bargain to get people off the payroll. What we do bargain is to get more work into Local so that we can protect those members who choose to stay. What we also have done is put provisions into the contract to give monetary enhancements to those people who choose to leave under a surplus condition.
In Verizon's "Good Friday" message, it appears that the leadership of both IBEW and CWA want to deny its members Verizon's generosity. You as members know that nothing is farther from the truth. Again this Friday, Verizon covered the memberships on the contractual IPP offer before it notifies the Union. As always, once this Local receives official notification on the dates around the IPP offer we will put it on the tape. Please call your ABM or the Union office at 800 796-1646
