Ratification Details

,

As previously reported, the System Council T6 has reached tentative terms to extend the current collective bargaining agreement. Union members from every New England local must vote whether to ratify the new agreement. A majority of members must vote in favor of the agreement for it to become official. Voting will be available daily at the union hall next week from Monday through Friday; on Monday, March 9th from 5:30-7:30 at a special meeting at the Knickerbocker Club in Lowell; at the regular unit meeting on Wednesday, March 11th beginning at 6pm; or, if the union hall has your personal email address on file, electronically from noon on Monday, March 16th through 5pm Wednesday March 18th. We will discuss the terms of the new agreement at both meetings next week and a summary is available on our website and social media sites.

Update on CWA, IBEW and Verizon Early Bargaining

, ,

Our current collective bargaining agreement with Verizon is set to expire Saturday August 1st, 2026. The IBEW System Council T6 along with IBEW Local 2213, IBEW Local 827 and CWA Districts 1 and 2-13 have agreed to meet with Verizon for a limited amount of time in January to explore the possibility of a contract extension. The IBEW and CWA remain focused on our members priorities, and will provide an update on these discussions as soon as one is available. While we hope these talks prove productive, it is imperative that we continue to prepare for contract expiration by mobilizing and showing our solidarity.
