I want to see the contact information in writing and a total explanation of each section. I will not accept another 2011 contract.

I guess we are just useful idiots. From what I can see the the only party that will benefit from this contract is the union not the workers. The union will be getting more warm bodies to pay dues. We will end up with no raise or even a net loss. We went on strike for about seven weeks for no substantial change in the contract? We could have worked without a contract and had the same results. Now we are all $5k+ poorer. Nice job CWA! I will be voting no!

What sort of shady tactics are being used to make an agreement but not show YOUR MEMBERSHIP. I stand with my brothers and sisters. No information, no contract, NO WORK!

We do need to see the terms and vote before we do one day of work.

This needs to get around the web ASAP. Workers need to realize that this strike and the livelihoods of thousands are still in motion and the next few days are critical for workers mounting a response to the shutting down of the strike.

Cwa members deserve the right to be well informed about the details of the contract. It's pure intimidation, forcing us back to work without being informed.

We have a right to see this contract after what we have already sacrificed before returning to work. You are supposed to represent us... how do you represent people that are being kept in the dark. In this information age, it shouldn't be too hard to provide this information immediately and not a one or two page condensed version.

Would like to know some details on the contract proposal. Verizon had no problem having the first proposal sent to my house the day it was offered. Why not this one.

We should see the contract before we go back to work. No fair contract no work.

I solidarize with the Verizon strike.
Their strike is mine too. If they succeed, i shall succeed too. I am optimistic about this taking the path of socialism.
Thanks.

How can you return when you haven't even seen the proposed contract? SMH

We can't afford to stand idly by while the CWA rams through yet another sell-out. In solidarity with Verizon workers, and workers internationally!

Telecom workers should work together to develop a strategy to defend themselves from the depredations of rapacious capitalists. They cannot do so when their struggles are shut down without any democratic oversight whatsoever. These workers deserve a chance to see the contents of the proposal as well as any additional information pertaining to the 10-day period in which the CWA/IBEW was in discussions in Washington with Verizon and the US Department of Labor before there is a return to work.

The workers deserve a fairly-paced and transparent process to decide whether they agree with the new contract. I support the Verizon workers!
