More than 90 percent of the Verizon Communications workers represented by the Communications Workers of America union have voted to ratify a three-year labor contract with the telecommunications giant, according to the union’s Web site.
The agreement covers more than 50,000 workers at Verizon, including 1,100 Verizon workers in Westchester and Putnam counties and about 300 workers in Rockland County.
Workers will receive 10.87 percent pension and wage increases under the contract.
Union negotiators and Verizon reached agreement on the contract on Aug. 10, averting a potential strike by the union.
