Why should verizon pay for the healthcare of the 40000 workers striking. They are presently not working for the company so why would you pay anyone with benefits or a paycheck not working for you? Doesn't make sense. You chose to strike you chose to... — read more

The union is 100% correct!
Verizon is an evil company, so I terminated my FIOS service today. Who else will join me? Show your support for the union and middle class jobs.
Verizon scabs caught threatening striking workers with machetes and dropping fruit on people's heads from high rise buildings!
Good for Verizon for taking the high road. So instead of offering a fair contract, you would rather hire illegal alien scabs to pick off your workers. This company just sunk to a new low!

Seems the strike won't be over until Bernie Sanders presidential campaign runs into a dead end.
The strike has become a part of Bernie's political movements.

Moving to Texas??
Moving Basking Ridge to Texas does make business sense. All this is about lowering costs and you can bet there is a clause in the Basking Ridge lease that would allow them to leave. http://movingtotexas.net/10-reasons-why-you-should-move-to-texas/... — read more

All the way down.
This Union guy is willing to stay out and fight Verizon all the way, I am happy the Union did not settle for the terrible 2 year contract that was offered. It was not a good deal. Besides, we gave back last time, this year is our turn. There is no... — read more
Call out your union leaders
You hear quotes like the one from Rich Young about the union leaders not negotiating. I would be livid if I was on the street for 4 weeks without pay. Union members need to hold your leaders accountable for what is going on. BOTH SIDES NEED TO SIT... — read more
Lets us all ask this together...
Why are Union leaders not going without pay and health benefits like those they force out? Also, why are Verizon Execs not pulling 12-17 hour shifts climbing poles, working jobs out of town and fighting thru picket lines?
Verizon and the N word
It appears that Verizon management likes to avoid the N word. That's right NEGOTIATIONS. They do however like to use some N words like Neanderthal, Narcissist, and Non-profitable Neighborhood. All in a derogatory way. The union members are not... — read more

Verizon Hell Bent on Self Destruction?
Union Breaking in 2016? Is that really such a great strategy? We shall see what happens. I believe the expression is "hoist on its own petard" I always wanted to say that.
