We just got asked for our third quarter vacation plans. Not a good sign.

This will not last forever. The replacements will soon be in place and we will all go home. And you'll never have to sit in a grievance meeting again.

This strike is worth every penny you guys are giving up if you can demand better toilet paper. This stuff in the co is so thin it has one side. That one side it then cover it waxy film insuring you can never become clean. And that you constantly have... — read more 

to mom's day where beach bags were handed out

After ten months of failed negotiations the union did exactly as the company was hoping they would do and walked out. The company made a lapsed best final offer which the union rejected. The company, now backed by labor, will not budge. The union can... — read more

Anyone else had enough of this already?

This is a watershed moment for American democracy. Millions of people feel that the economy is not creating enough good jobs to provide economic security. And there’s well-founded concern that global forces of trade and technology are not benefiting... — read more 

Why can't the union understand this? A business sole purpose it to make a profit and stay afloat. Verizon already pays these works in excess of $100,000 a year including benefits! These are call center/wire stringing/hook up box to tv jobs! When will... — read more

Can vzw employees volunteer for a severance package? Or will they just be terminated instead?

Keep hearing different rumors on how many training facilities there are and how many contractors they can pump out. Does anyone have more specifics on this?

How can I make this work? I am so tired and need a few days off and I've heard people say fake bereavement works well. What do you recommend? Do I need to go ahead and call EAP and get counseling help? And who should I kill off?

i don't care how this whole thing ends. just let me go home. :(
