Message from Business Manager Craig Fields

Message from Business Manager Craig Fields:

A rumor has been floated that Verizon wants to end retiree medical in
2026.  Despite the company’s cruel increases to retiree medical costs
planned for 2025, at no time did the company propose ending retiree
medical; not in 2026, or any other time.  There is no validity to this
rumor.

In Solidarity,
Craig Fields

Scarborough Webinar -Tax Updates: Tuesday September 23rd- 6pm

,

Scarborough will be hosting a fall webinar on Tuesday September 23rd at 6pm for all IBEW members.

In brief, the budget reconciliation and tax reform package known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law this past July. The bill introduces a range of significant legislative changes. During the webinar, a member of Scarborough will discuss provisions of the bill related to financial and estate planning such as:

  • How will the new tax bill affect me?
  • What are the key changes in the bill?
  • Are there new tax deductions that I can take advantage of?
  • What planning opportunities should my family and I consider?

Two options if interested- click either link:

Bargaining Update

, ,

In late May, CWA, IBEW, and Verizon began negotiations to determine whether an agreement could be reached to extend the current collective bargaining agreements. By late June, significant differences remained between the parties’ proposals, and the Unions informed the Company of our intention to conclude negotiations.

At the Company’s request, a high-level meeting was held, during which the Unions agreed to continue discussions, with the understanding that the Company was prepared to more fully address the Unions’ concerns.

Despite these continued efforts, the Company has not adequately responded to the needs and priorities of our members. Instead, the Company has chosen to end the bargaining process.
