We will be working under the old contract, while bargaining continues. This is a battle won in the war. Now, I have to reschedule my doctors and physical therapy appointments. I tried to schedule them all in before the end of benefit date of 8.31.2011. Since we are going back to work, that is no longer valid. Thank GOD!!! We are going to Land of Make Believe on Monday, since Tuesday is my return to work day. I wonder if I will get any unemployment for the time I was on strike??? I have to call on my return to work day. I hope so….

Following is a statement by the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers:
For release 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011
Washington, D.C. – Members of CWA and IBEW at Verizon Communications will return to work on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at which time the contract will be back in force for an indefinite period.
We have reached agreement with Verizon on how bargaining will proceed and how it will be restructured. The major issues remain to be discussed, but overall, issues now are focused and narrowed.
We appreciate the unity of our members and the support of so many in the greater community. Now we will focus on bargaining fairly and moving forward.
CWA and IBEW represent 45,000 workers at Verizon covered by this contract from Virginia to New England.
