If the executives don't think that the longer this strike continues the impact on future profits and productivity wont be felt for years they need to think again. Managers don't want to do this work and will look to jump ship to other companys. As... — read more 

After two weeks of cricket sounds our union came up with a plan to force the company to bargain. We are going to all meet at an old empty Verizon building that has been sold and burn our work shirts.......we will be singing "days gone by" the famous... — read more 

Yeah the plan is working

Me and one other. Both had 38 hours , we car pool. We were late two days because we're tied up in traffic caused by, you guessed it, other picketers. Local does not care. Sick of this already, time to sign.

Last and best offer is not a bad deal. We want a vote!

In some states, you can collect unemployment (due to your wisdom in having elected representatives who have your best interests, the working class's interests, in mind). In some Union Locals, you have a strike fund (again, due to your wisdom in... — read more

Vanadalism, assault, foul mouthed hoodlums are about the best way to describe the union animals. I'm shocked at what asshats these people are. And then listening to them yell "they are taking OUR jobs!!!" just underscores the sense of entitlement... — read more 

Are you guys being forced to do "call aheads"? If so do you have to call ALL your customers in the morning first before heading out? What about QARs? Do your bosses question your entire day for any perceived problem or reason? Do you get 2 or 3 8-12s... — read more 

To all the EWA's, Verizon communications is seeking more H1b's. Can you believe it? I'm sure it isn't to fill the union jobs you are currently doing. I understand that I am not telling you something you don't hear on a daily bases while employed here... — read more 

Ok, so who are you going to vote for: Trump or Clinton? I'll start. I'm management and I've voting for Trump (although not enthusiastically for sure)

Just saying. Good luck Union.

It becomes ridiculous here with these no sense propaganda, get a life low class

Not that it matters for the overall contract negotiations, but it is fairly amazing that the liberal media is not at all nationally covering the largest by number strike since the last CWA VZ strike in 2011. You would think that if it were nationally... — read more 

All EWA folks on this forum, how do you feel about undermining your Union brothers?

First off I am a union employee, but am losing faith in this union very quickly. Please tell how the union is going to defeat this company? This strike is going nowhere quickly, no updates or recent news on talks at the table. Maybe someone has some... — read more 

Union members picket for pennies while supporting a stance that some truly believe in. Replacements do their best knowing that everywhere other than call centers they aren't touching the normal workload or quality of service. In the meantime VZ Corp... — read more

That's right! We're proudly a force of five strong again. In the interest of full disclosure, three of us are clueless H1Bs just filling in to round out the work force, but boy does it feel good to be whole. Where to start. Some EWAers posted a call... — read more 

It's kind of sad that everyone on here NOT in the union is urging us to go back to work. The real reason they want us back is because they themselves are being selfish. Why would they care if we are out of work? Why would they care if I or my family... — read more 

Please stop with your post's your're sounding pathetically desperate. Your post's only validate the Union is pummeling the company in this Work Stoppage. The Company can not continue with this strike. They will have to cut there loses sooner or... — read more 

When is everyone going to realize this is not about the 30 call center techs or the temp transfers, this is about the next step for the greedy union. Shelton wants wireless and he doesn't give a crap about us. The union doesn't care if you lose your... — read more 

Mass rally planned at Shelton's mansion. We are protesting getting our jobs back. How can this greedy pig collect 25 million a year and keep us out on the streets. His greed for wireless has to stop. When will he wake up and see what he's doing. So... — read more 

I do agree with a comment made in the conference call last night, this company as well as many companies years ago were all family oriented. They had respect for their workers and their families. Had consideration for taking care of their employees... — read more 

All caught on tape.....You hard earned tax dollars at work for Verizon.

I'm Reposting this serious topic buried by tons of spam posts: I am calling for a vote on the last and final offer. Why not? I think Verizon has convinced shareholders that killing the union is the way to go, and will ride us out. The rest of... — read more 

...... Are the anti union shill posters getting paid five or ten cents per post?

The CWA and IBEW backed themselves into a corner and can't get out without losing face. We are being hung out to dry because they have no viable options anymore.
