Rep. Meeks Sends Letter Encouraging Equitable Labor Agreement in Verizon Labor Negotiations
New York, NY—Congressman Gregory W. Meeks issued the following statement regarding a letter he sent last week to Verizon, the CWA, and the IBEW.
“With my constituents’ best interest in mind, last week I sent a letter to the CEO of Verizon and the Presidents of CWA and IBEW regarding the recent strike.
“In my letter, I encouraged the respective parties to work towards a fair solution; one that protects unionized American employees and allows for the continued delivery of Verizon products and services.
“Many of my constituents work for Verizon or count on the services they deliver so this strike has placed a strain on my district. Reaching an equitable agreement would ultimately benefit the people of New York’s 5th Congressional District.”
