CWA NEWS RELEASE
04/08/2022 12:30pm: As you know, our current collective bargaining agreement with Verizon does not expire until August 2023. However, Verizon, CWA, and IBEW are jointly announcing today that we will be entering into three weeks of bargaining beginning May 16, 2022, to determine whether it is possible to agree on the terms of a contract extension. We will keep you posted on further developments.
06/07/2022 Statement of Bargaining
As you already know, CWA, IBEW and Verizon began meeting for a
three-week period to attempt to negotiate the terms of a possible
extension to the collective bargaining agreements that are set to
expire in August 2023. We have agreed with the Company to
continue meeting for the rest of this week and if necessary, to
extend the negotiations into next week.
We will provide additional updates as appropriate
6/20/2022 Statement of Bargaining
As you know, CWA and IBEW have been negotiating with Verizon since May 16, 2022 to determine whether it’s possible to agree on the terms of a contract extension. These negotiations were planned for a limited time frame. However, we have mutually agreed to continue bargaining through this week in an attempt to reach an agreement. We will keep you posted on further developments.
07/01/2022 Statement of Bargaining
July 1, 2022 CWA, IBEW and Verizon have reached an agreement in principle to extend the collective bargaining agreements for a three-year period. The current agreements are set to expire on August 5, 2023. If finalized, the agreements will extend through August 1, 2026. The company and the unions are documenting the understanding in signed contracts and expect to have that completed next week, at which time we will communicate further details. The contracts will be subject to ratification by union members. The contracts will include long term work-at-home provisions. Pending ratification of the contracts, the current work-at-home arrangements are continued. Wishing you all a happy and safe 4th of July!

Expanding broadband access will help students learn and the economy grow. When we make sure the work is done by experienced union members—that means reliable service and good jobs. Tell Congress: Build Broadband Better!
Sign the Petition
Americans need high-speed, affordable broadband to work, learn, shop and succeed in the world today. However, millions of us do not have reliable, affordable broadband access.
Congress is considering investing in better broadband access. Creating good jobs and reliable service means making sure the work is done by skilled union members.
We need high-speed, affordable broadband and good jobs in our communities. Any bill that contains funding for broadband infrastructure should also protect good union jobs against outsourcing as well as protect workers’ right to organize a union.
