Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

***BACK TO WORK***

The official Return to Work date is Wednesday, June 1st. Please wear RED.

Employees whose tours begin Tuesday night, May 31, 2016 and extend into Wednesday, June 1, 2016 will report to work for those tours. All other employees are REQUIRED to return to work for their tours that are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 1, 2016. Employees with exceptional circumstances need to contact their supervisor. Returning employees will return to work on the same tours to which they were assigned immediately prior to April 13, 2016.

Employees on approved leaves of absence, approved medical leaves, suspensions or scheduled vacations shall report to work following the expiration of such leaves, suspensions or vacations.

No employee shall lose service or pension credit or life insurance as a result of participating in the strike.

Floating holidays that were scheduled during the work stoppage may be rescheduled no later than September 30, 2016 and taken no later than December 31, 2016.

Unused Vacation Days and Excused Work days remaining from 2015 which were still available on April 13, 2016 may be taken pursuant to normal scheduling guidelines no later than September 30, 2016.

For two weeks following the Return to Work Date, 6/1 - 6/14, the provisions of the CBAs regarding overtime caps will not be in effect in order to reduce the work backlog resulting from the strike. Overtime will be assigned with due consideration to the safety and health of employees.

Once an official summary of the new Tentative Agreement has been released by IBEW and CWA that will also be sent out and posted on the website.

Thank you to the members of Local 2321 for all your hard work and dedication.

United WE Bargained!

CWA accommodated Verizon by not striking until they closed the wireline sale of California,Texas and Florida. Now they agreed to mediation as suggested by that piece of sh--,liberal, fudge packing cum drinking Perez so to prevent unemployment benefits and to help the jobless numbers for that cocksucking douchebag in the White House. And you guys don't think this contract is a dick in the assYou are all probably going to vote for the lying, murdering, cunt Killary!!!!! You deserve what you get!
