INFORMATION BULLETIN #04-09

The Unions and Company met on July 8, 2004 in Washington D.C. to discuss additional increases under the terms of the 2003 Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Company was not interested in any discussions on additional wage increases unless the unions were willing to make changes in our existing job security agreements. The Unions rejected making any changes in the Job security language and the existing negotiated increase of 2% will take affect on

August 1, 2004.

The following are the Verizon existing top rates and the new top rates effective Sunday,

Unbundled Network Element Pricing


We have been working with the Company and the Governor's office over the last several months in an attempt to have the Board of Public Utilities review the rates that were set for Verizon to charge competitors to lease our lines.

The Board of Public Utilities will have an answer on these rates on April 2, 2004. The competitors are now sending numerous letters to our Governor urging him to keep the rates as they are today.

As you are aware there has not been any new investment in our network since competition was introduced in New Jersey. We need these rates increased so Verizon can start investing this money in deploying the new fiber to the premise technology. Without this increase this project will be put on hold for this year.

We need to combat the letters being sent in opposition to this increase! Within the next day or two your local representatives will be asking you to sign a preprinted post card, urging Governor McGreevey to increase these rates so our members can start deploying this new network.

Building this new network will be the work and technology for tomorrow. It will enable us to provide the latest technology to New Jersey residents and will insure work for our members for many years to follow.

At the present time only make ready work is being done for this project. I have spoken to the Company numerous times over the last several months on the deployment of this network. The Company wants to wait until the Board of Public Utilities makes their decision on April 2nd.

IBEW Local 827 members will build this network and deployment discussions will only take place if we are successful in increasing these rates.

I urge you to please sign the preprinted post card and return it to your Steward.

Thank you for your cooperation on this important issue.


Fraternally,
Dominic Turdo
President/Business Manager
