Dear members,
The Letters of Agreement between Verizon and CWA regarding Work-at-Home, Bonus Pay, Home Garaging, and Back-up Care will be extended until June 30, 2020. They were originally scheduled to expire on April 30, 2020.
The Letters of Agreement regarding COVID related Leaves of Absence do NOT have an April 30 expiration date and remain in effect.
If you have questions please reach out to your Steward, Chief Steward, or Business Agent.

Carry on & be safe all.
My understanding is that they expire sometime in June, rather than May. But maybe that's just for entire carryover weeks as opposed to individual days?
Did they or will they extend when we have to use out 2019 Vacation days , right now its MAY 31st was hoping they would extend that to .
