Telecommunications workers, you are on the front lines of a struggle for the future of every worker and young person in the United States and the world! The capitalist elites want us to work harder for less wages and fewer benefits, so that they can have more profit. Enough! Our class does the work that creates the wealth and the profits. It's time for us to have our say about how this wealth is shared. We're not asking the bosses, we're telling them, we will return to work only on terms decided by us!
Solidarity,
Justine, youth, student and future worker

i believe that the pensions will be frozen,dues will raise,healthcare costs will raise and there goes the 10.9 raises for 4 years which comes out a little more then 2 percent a year not counting taxes.

I deserve to see the details of our new contract. I need to see the benefits of our sacrifices.

After many months of working without a contract and going on strike because of said reason. Why should we now return without seeing and agreeing to a contract.

We have been fooled before. We need to see a contract, and ratify it prior to return to work. I also disagree with the removal of overtime caps. I thought Verizon had no trouble with the work load?

This is basically going back to work without a contract so the company and government don't have 39000 people collecting unemployment insurance..... What's another week or two of unpaid bills versus knowing what we are singing into.

No contract, no work! Let the rank-and-file Verizon workers have time to study the contract in detail and make a democratic decision about the way forward.

I have faith in my bargaining team but the secrecy of this offer and the fact that picketing was terminated while the details of the contract are still being drawn is suspicious. I believe we have a right after over 45 days of struggle and all of the underhanded moves the company has displayed to review the details prior to return to work

WHY are we not being shown this "amazing agreement"? Have we learned nothing from 2011? Obviously not. There should be NO return to work until the membership have seen, voted, and ratified, this deal. Why do I get the feeling that my union brothers, our families, and myself, have been used as pawns in order for CWA to gain more dues paying members. Right when the strike is really starting to make an impact, we capitulate.
