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.

Webinar: Navigating Tariffs and Market Volatility

Webinar: Navigating Tariffs and Market Volatility

Register here: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4930241/545F95CD6F5DDDE8CA81D301ACCAD96B

The White House’s newly announced tariffs have contributed to market volatility, challenging the patience of even the most disciplined investors.

Markets, like people, don’t like uncertainty, but it’s important to look beyond the headlines and stay committed to your financial strategy.

In this webinar, we’ll address common questions you may have, such as:

What are tariffs and how are they used?
What is a trade deficit?
Do tariffs cause inflation?
How do tariffs affect the stock market?
What steps should I take in a market downturn?
We will also allow time at the end of the presentation for participants to submit questions.
Presenter: Margaret Pierce, Regional Manager
