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.

Bargaining Update: July 8th

The IBEW System Council T6 has reached a tentative agreement with Verizon to extend the current contract until 2026.  Please see the summary and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for complete details.

The agreement is subject to membership ratification.  Local 2321 will hold informational meetings to discuss the details of the new agreement on Wednesday, July 13 at 6PM at the American Legion Post in Middleton at 69 River St; and at 6:30 PM on Thursday, July 14 at the US Bunting Club, 449 Boylston St., in Lowell.

Members will be able to vote in person at both meetings.  Local 2321 will also conduct electronic voting for those who are unable to attend one of the meetings.  Please contact the union hall at 978-683-2321, or via email at infoibew2321@gmail.com, to make sure we have your current personal email address so you can vote electronically.  A secure link will be emailed to you to access the electronic ballot. Electronic voting is expected to begin on Friday, July 15 and run through Monday, July 18.

Thank you for your support and I hope to see you at one of the meetings.  If you can’t attend I encourage you to take advantage of the electronic voting opportunity to ensure your voice is heard.

In Solidarity,
Craig Fields
Business Manager
