  • Update on the Negotiations Involving Verizon Workers
    Updated On: May 137, 2016

    Statement of US Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez
    on the Negotiations Involving Verizon Workers

    Sunday, May 15, 2016 — U.S. Department of Labor

    WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today issued the following statement on the ongoing labor dispute involving Verizon workers.

    A few days ago, U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez reached out to the parties in the ongoing labor dispute involving Verizon workers and invited them to meet with him in Washington in an effort to help the parties resolve a dispute that is affecting thousands of workers, their families, and the company.

    Today, Secretary Perez met at the U.S. Labor Department with Chris Shelton, President of the Communications Workers of America; Lonnie Stephenson, President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; and Lowell McAdam, chairman and CEO of Verizon. The parties had an open, frank and constructive dialogue about finding a comprehensive way forward to resolve disputed issues and get people back to work. The parties agreed to return to the bargaining table on Tuesday to continue their discussion.

    “The best way to resolve this labor dispute is at the bargaining table, and I am heartened by the parties’ mutual commitment to get back to immediate discussions and work toward a new contract,” said Secretary Perez. “I was singularly impressed by the parties’ appreciation that time is of the essence, and their strong commitment to use the collective bargaining process to reach a mutually beneficial resolution.”
