Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Tentative Contract Agreement for Verizon Employees

May 27, 2016

"I commend the unions and Verizon for coming to a tentative contract agreement. I congratulate CWA and IBEW for their tireless work on behalf of the tens of thousands of men and women they represent who work at Verizon. Collective bargaining works - this agreement shows that when workers organize and are unified, good jobs are protected, working families can thrive and our communities become stronger. I look forward to seeing the workers back on the streets of New York City delivering for our city."
