I said from the start that I would work all the way through, no days off. At the end of the first week I thought I was going to die. At the end of the 2nd I seriously considered quitting. But this morning, I got up, showered, came in, and feel like... — read more 

I will give $5 for any mint, unworn CWA shirts, $1 for all CWA Pins, Pens, and office toys (squeeze balls, etc). This should help some CWA members until they find a new job, and may be worth something after the union is gone.

Us scabs are getting much better! Of course stuff isn't rocket science! Many many strands all repaired! Hope you Union folks stay out as long as possible. I think I cleared over $500.00 yesterday clearing that up!

What happened to the company's last best and final final final offer? Frauds!

Not sure where to say this but, workers from other companies represented by the CWA should be paying close attention to what the union has done to its Verizon employees. You know those other company leaders are watching with an eye towards their next... — read more 

I know that it was in the proposal that if it was not accepted by that date, then that part of the proposal was off the table. I'm just curious if that is a big deal or not to some/most, or if that is added pressure to hurry and get a deal done. Not... — read more 

VZW doesn't care who the LEC is. If you look at a VZW coverage map it covers the entire US. VZT is only the LEC for their backhaul in the mid-atlantic and NE. They just as soon offload VZT and work on wireless only. After the new contract be ready to... — read more 

If Verizon gave 30 day suspensions to replacement workers like they did before the strike there would be nobody left. Where is Osha,the DOT, psc, puc, and the EPA. Oh I forgot , they got Vz donations.

It seems like we had more steam and got noticed before the NY primary. I hate feeling played out and used. So, when exactly will Bernie be back for another big rally and march across the bridge?

So it's official. CW has been given the go ahead to replace any General contractors doing major construction work in Verizon facilities that utilize unionized workers. Apparently a number of big jobs have been shut down due to the strike and GCs are... — read more 

Will the Union find you jobs if Verizon does not hire you back? I don't understand why employees go on strike for a company they do not enjoy working for? If you don't like it, if you do not agree with what the boss says, then find another job, is it... — read more 

I know it's been a long few weeks without a paycheck or healthcare. And I'm sure the refrigerator is running low and the bills are piling up. So here's a suggestion to help you all make some extra cash. Take pics of your "brothers" on the picket... — read more 

So in April I posted the milestone dates and got responses from EWA and union that they would not happen. Let's review: May 1: VZ takes away health benefits for 40000. HAPPENED May 5: Shareholder meeting, union demands ignored:HAPPENED-ended up being... — read more

Company is in this for the long haul. i.e.: the billions of profits they make each quarter means they have cash. Yes, they have debt, but smart debt. Just because a company holds a sh*t ton of debt doesn't mean they're struggling. Company wants to... — read more

What do the typical technicians make a year in NY - NJ - PA - MA - VA WVA? Do the really make 100k a year with OT - plus benefits? How much do they pay for healthcare? Do they get vacation day/pay. Is OT really double time.

Sick of the same Union BS on this site. There is no reason that this has gone on this long. No bargaining happening and people are in the streets going broke! Dumbest strike yet! What is it over? Sick of the union talking points. Company addressed... — read more
