The problem with VZB is they have weak knees. One needs to be able to stand in order to win anything.
IBEW and CWA woudl sell out VZB in a heartbeat. It's been proven time and again that they simply do not give one single F about them.
Any tech hired after August 2003 has no job protection from layoffs but no facility techs were surplus this year so that tells me nobody is getting laid off anytime soon.
@e0 We wouldn't have all the time off we get none union if it wasn't for the union
@bw bullsh-t! Learn history! If it wasn't for unions you would have nothing, no work protection at all. Our grandparents fought and died for the rights you have now! We all need to stand together ! #UnionStrong #unionproud
@by the year 2026
False @bw. They deserve greater protection because they bargained for it. They have greater protection under the law. It is just the reality of the situation. The advantage of being anti union is that in theory an individual can bargain for better employment terms than a group can collectively
The premise is that the individual will stand out as exceptional to the group and will be recognized and rewarded by the corporation for their greater value.
@OP 👍
April 26th is a Sunday
Union doesn't deserve any more job protection than non-Union.
@OP what a fool, oh, yeah april that's it
Vzb techs are a carve out contract and NOT the same as T techs. Please remember these techs were NOT union prior to vzm purchasing them and their culture & scope of how they work are the polar opposite of T.
B DOES not have a no lay off clause. Matter of fact the wonderful union refuses every contract negotiation to address anything B related because they are a smaller group and T is their bread & butter.
I thought new hires after 2012 don’t have layoff protection
@aa Right they are union but can be laid off at any time wtf up
@ag they can not. Only if they can declare a surplus.
@OP you didn't hear anything. Are you special.
@aa Company can layoff union employees under just cause. I think Verizon has strong evidence due to continued decline of wireline performance.
heard where?
