    CWA Social Media Policy Guidelines

    CWA strongly supports the use of social media sites to discuss and advocate for the important issues facing members and working families today. While these sites offer many advantages, they also can cause serious legal problems if they are not properly used and can lead to complicated legal proceedings as well as potential disciplinary action against employee users. We have developed these guidelines for CWA members to consult when using social media to help avoid legal or other problems.

  • Verizon 4Q surplus declaration
    Updated On: Nov 06, 2025

    CWA received a 4th Quarter 2025 surplus declaration notification on November 4th: 

    November 4, 2025

    This letter is to notify you that Verizon New York Inc., Verizon Services Corp., and Empire City Subway Company (Ltd.), (collectively “the Company”) are declaring a surplus condition in fifteen (15) titles within Force Adjustment Areas (“FAAs”) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The surplus titles and FAAs together with the names, net credited service dates, and work locations of all employees affected are provided as attachments to this letter. To alleviate the surplus condition, the Company will invoke the Force Adjustment Plan (FAP) of the collective bargaining agreement. This surplus condition has been determined by the Company to be due to a process change. The provisions of the respective FAP Articles 8(b) and 10 will not apply in this case.

    If the Company uses the Enhanced Income Protection Plan (EIPP) under step three (3) of the FAP Article to alleviate the surplus, the Company will make Special EIPP offers to associates as described in Section XIV of the May 29, 2016 Memorandum of Understanding and Section IX of the July 14, 2022 Memorandum of Understanding. Special EIPP offers will be tendered to those employees in the surplus titles and FAAs involved by November 11, 2025. An employee’s election to leave the service of the Company and receive Special EIPP payments must be in writing and transmitted to the Company within 15 days of the offer, in this case November 25, 2025. The off-payroll date for employees who accept the offer will be December 14, 2025.

    For clarification, we are in FAA 5.

    The letter and chart of affected job titles is attached.
