As previously announced, CWA and IBEW began meeting with Verizon in mid-May for a limited period attempting to negotiate terms of a possible extension to the Collective Bargaining Agreements, which are set to expire August 5, 2023. The parties have agreed to extend negotiations an additional few days.

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.
