3/31/26 - Email from local Presidents re: Ratification
Dear Local Presidents:
I am writing to announce that the majority of members in CWA District 1 have voted to
ratify the contract extensions at Verizon.
District 1 members in Verizon Wireless Retail and Tech both overwhelmingly ratified their
agreements.
Members represented by CWA District 2-13 in Mid-Atlantic, IBEW New England, IBEW New
York and IBEW New Jersey have overwhelmingly ratified their agreements.
The agreements will extend the contracts through August 3, 2030.
Thank you.
