The Unions requested clarification from the Company pertaining to Verizon’s health care and prescription drug proposals, as well as on other issues raised by the Unions in earlier bargaining sessions. The Company provided some but not all of the information. Negotiations are concluded for today and scheduled to resume tomorrow morning.
