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.

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.
