Workers' Champion Ed Schultz Will Join Call

 

CWA's next "virtual union meeting," a national town hall by phone and Internet for stewards and all interested members, is scheduled for Thursday, June 16 at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

 

We'll talk about our next steps and hear about recent successes, such as the big win CWA members helped make possible in upstate New York, sending a pro-worker candidate to Congress in a special election. We'll also get an update from New Jersey on the bargaining battle there and from Ohio, where CWA members are building coalitions and circulating petitions to overturn a new law stripping collective bargaining rights from public workers.

 

Also speaking will be MSNBC and radio host Ed Schultz. An impassioned supporter of workers and unions, Schultz was the first national media figure to report from Wisconsin when the capitol protests began in February.

 

Please spread the word in your locals and plan to join thousands of your CWA brothers and sisters June 16, at 7:30 p.m. EDT. Visit www.cwaaction.org to register for the call. Prior to the event, you'll receive an email with call-in instructions.

CWA, IBEW 2213 and Verizon Summer Camp Reimbursement Program

 

CWA, IBEW 2213 and Verizon are pleased to announce a Summer Camp Reimbursement Program offered through the Regional Work and Family Committee.

Eligible employees who have not participated in the Dependent Care Reimbursement program since August/September 2010 can request reimbursement (up to $200.00 per session; max $400.00) for summer camp expenses for dependent children up to age 15.

 

For more information and an application, please visit our website at: www.regionalwfrc.com

 

If you have any questions or are unable to access the website, please contact the Work and Family Committee Staff at phone number (516) 797-3872 or call your Local Union office.

 

Correspondence can be sent to Fund Administrator, Beverly Steele; 120 Hicksville Road, Room 200A, Massapequa, NY 11758; Beverly.Steele@verizon.com

As with any merger or acquisition involving large entities, oversight issues will be raised.  We ask all those involved to balance the inquiry with adequate weight for broadband speed and build out, and employment and workers rights.

VZ DCRF Reimbursement Extended To May

 

The reimbursement for child care provided by the DCRF will be extended through May 2011.  Originally, the Regional W/F Committee thought the funds would be depleted after the April 2011 payout, but by moving some available money from other projects into the DCRF we were able to provide an additional months payout.
