That date is exactly a threat. Saying if you don't sign by the 20th then we will take away your job security and move you where ever we want. THAT IS A THREAT. That is illegal and can not be used in barganning in good faith. The company made a poor decision with putting that in an offer, that is not bargaining.

They go back to the table today. Let's wait. The May 20th debate is useless right now.
Well....in three days WE'LL KNOW now won't we.
The guy who says May 20th is a made up date should read what's inside that overnight FedEx envelop instead of returning or burning it. Morons!
It's a time limited confession. Verizon gave in on several points. Their offer has an expiration date.
After the 20th, the union will lose those concessions and have to try to find a better deal again.
Good luck.
The unions definition of "bargaining in good faith". They company must accept all our demands, nothing less will do. No givebacks are allowed.
I'm sure the bargaining team is shaking in their boots!
Pud Puller?
The puller is getting ready to go north and he's going to hurt some Union scum
"@HrMgo25-aed , It an indication of what type of legal team Verizon has. You can't deflect that."
Hopelessly wrong. You cannot gauge the effectiveness of a legal team purely on the result of a case. The legal team is there to best represent company interests. It is often in their best interest to advise the company to settle. An example being if the evidence in the case favors the other party or if the cost of litigation exceeds the cost of settlement.
@lpw LOL at "Anti-communist union member"
and the union leadership not putting the offer to a vote is a sign on not bargaining in good faith.
They sure can!
Slx... Just like they thought about hiring a guy with 4 dui's and all of the other felons they have working out there.
Odd how they let HR post here.

This proves absolutely nothing. None of these cases have anything to do with unfair bargaining practices.
"Verizon loses ETF class action lawsuit, ordered to pay $21 million"
"Verizon fined $158M combined to settle lawsuit over unauthorized charges"
"Verizon Wireless Agrees to Pay $64M Over Class Action Lawsuit"
"Verizon to Pay $20 Million to Settle Nationwide EEOC Disability Suit"
"Verizon Reaches Unpaid Overtime Class Action Settlement"
"eeoc settlement with verizon concerning employees with disabilities"
The list goes on and on.......
This did not happen after the strike, it was part of the deal before then.
Either way, this happened after the strike, so it's still economic in nature; therefore, the union still walked off the job under their own will.
Guess you didnt know there is a lawsuit against the company with NLRB over this, guess you also dont know the meaning of bargaining in good faith. The company is required by law to bargain in good faith. Putting in a date with a threat to take away things in a current contract by a certain date if you DO NOT SIGN, is against the meaning of bargaining in good faith and the company can be charged. Now if the company said we will give you extras if you sign by a certain date is different. But the company can not threat to take away anything if thet do not sign.
I didn't realize line splicers went to law school. I think ill trust the corporate lawyers over you, but thanks.
I am not "pretty sure". With their "legal team" they have lost lawsuits. So your theory is not correct.
I'm pretty sure Verizon has a legal team that is involved with all this...so I'm sure whatever they put into the agreement is legal. Don't you think they would've already thought about this??
