No member left behind.....what do our VGNS members have to say about that?
As you have seen here online or have heard, Verizon Core and VCSI received substancial upgrades to our existing contracts. There is excitment in the air and a belief that the two contracts will be ratified! But if you recall.....there were THREE contracts that expired on August 2nd. The third was that of VGNS and it seems brothers and sisters....They didn't recieve any significant upgrades to an already subpar contract. Please review the following attachment and review their tentative agreement for yourself. We here at the Local will be asking you to support VGNS workers. If they reject their agreement, the bargaining committee and the company will head back to the table. We believe our members at VGNS will not ratify this contract offering. Please show them you will stand beside them by downloading the following petition of support and have everyone in your workplace sign it in a massive showing of Solidarity! We will not leave our VGNS members behind! VGNS_response.PDF Please download the following petition and fill them out in support of our brothers and sisters in VGNS!

Verizon not taking us seriously!
Updated
On: Aug 27, 2008 (10:25:00)
Attention all CWA Local 2222 members! As of Friday, July 25, the word we are receiving is that the company is not taking our 92% strike authorization vote seriously. Either they don't think we are together enough or capable enough to strike for our rights, or both. Let's show them differently Read More...
