Despite all the herpa derpa bullshit here, as management in a state that doesn't support unions, good luck to all of you on getting what you need. A majority of us filling in understand your dilemma and hope you are able to make a good deal... — read more 

One day closer to the out of town managers going back to their families, one day closer to the toothless scabs going back to their trailor parks and returning their moms mini vans. One day closer to the local managers having to deal with a bunch of... — read more 

Members in NE are excused from their 6 hour picket daily and of course the south is only required 8 hours a week, so Monday will be an off day for all. Enjoy the day with your family members, anyone needing food stamps to purchase dogs and burgers... — read more 

I guess that the dip is due to the fact that the wireline is dead...as pronounced on this very site for a million times...

Sounds like a turkey farm. Gobble gobble the schlongs down your throat.

May have to end it all like a non- hacking wuss Vteamer.

The company is in search of janitors, grounds keepers, window washers, busboys, and cafeteria staff. All of the southern replacement workers are highly qualified and will be offered these positions once the strike ends. Some of the benefits include a... — read more 

Some posts here seem to think that management want strikers to cross. Let me tell you something. While it makes me sick to my stomach to see how stupid my former employees were to ever walk out like this in the first place, a scab makes me even... — read more 

Hey everyone! Don't forget that its bring your child to your former work day. Plenty of fun finger paints and there will even be a clown. There will be a mandatory workshop for aggressive yelling that we highly encourage all children of striking... — read more 

Rise and grind EWA's, you rule following minges. Last night me and my union buddy had a two man job at a EWA house, needless to say we serviced his old ladies difficulty. So well in fact we both got repeaters. Keep all that money coming in guys, it... — read more 

Unionizing their work force is the only way for this backward company to start making a profit.

Today was going to be the day VZ started the lock-out of 38,000 Union employees. As a last ditch effort, VZ contacted the US Labor Dept and asked them to give the CWA/IBEW one last chance to bargain. This tactic was done to give the CWA/IBEW an... — read more 

Today's the day this "job action" officially becomes a lockout! This means that we are more likely to get our unemployment benefits, since it's considered an Unfair Labor Practice to threaten to fire strikers. Enjoy your summer, my union brothers and... — read more 

Union members remove d--k from @ss and insert into mouth! Finally! Some forward thinking!

Ironically the EWA's are working the proposed new Union contract. Forced OT Forced to work away from home. Paying for benefits and no pension or job security. It sucks.

I called my team leader today to inquire about coming into work starting next Monday. He referred me to an HR number and that it was not that simple anymore. (In Va)

You read it here first.

No mention in today's Washington Post about the "big" union rally and march in DC yesterday afternoon.

The ancient Mayans predicted this date 1000's of years ago. They predicted today would be the day that skilled technicians at a US communications company would be replaced with "workers" with a vast background in machete wielding, DUI getting... — read more 

Verizons statements about strikers being hit by scab vehicles are inappropriate. If someone is blocking an entrance know one should be using there vehicle to run people over, run them down. That is why they are being arrested. Verizon should not be... — read more 

Just transferred another $3,000 (above my normal bi-weekly paycheck) right over into savings. That's $7500 directly into savings so far. Thank you Union folks.

Thanks to all the union guys who left their tools and other helpful items at their desks/workstations!

"One day longer and one day stronger" "We walked off the job and abandoned our customers, but we care about them" "THEY STOLE OUR JERBS!"

Before the strike all of us cowering spineless cubicle warriors had a place we could go and whine about how VZ screwed us over- now it's been hijacked by the people who actually do the work that keep the company afloat.

The lockout has begun. I forgot to take my house keys when I went to get more beer. Damn, now I am locked out of my house. Good thing that is the only lockout that is going to happen today

It seems like the EWA and the Fab Five at Verizon are totally against UNIONS. Yet they forget the greatest document in the world has reference to a UNION. Let me refresh your memories for thise non H1B. But H1b take note its on your test. We the... — read more 

History tends to repeat itself. About 151 years ago a bunch of ID10ts from the south tried to invade the north.. The south had their low paying, unskilled , and uneducated perps. The north was booming with educated, skilled and innovative citizens... — read more 

Lowell knows his experiment is doomed. With tight competition in wireless and no new customers, churn is the only revenue and Verizon isn't looking good in the public eye right now to pull customers from other carriers. Verizon's reputation will... — read more 

VZ will have to deal with very angry employees. It will take time to return to normal, this is by far the worst relationship btn employer and employees. Keep temp scabs for a while , you will need them

M&M's to introduce a BLUE M&M!! Wait, what?!!! Turn down for what??

What's this talk about a strike April 13? And what's this business about fiber? Are we going after the cable industry? Sounds expensive; I dunno?? We should be putting more money into Redbox.

The few union sheep that work at wireless will not get any of the benefits that wireline get. They just wasted five weeks of pay for their pathetic "brothers"
