Verizon holding off on closing the deal for an 8 BILLION dollar purchase..there is no good way to spin this during a strike and a corporate greed campaign.. This deal would push Verizon right back into the spotlight, and Lowell will probably write... — read more 

Just like the union at Verizon...

I think because The Squirrel Force four is out of peanut butter, they pulled out every single line in the Hub Box instead of bitting them. I suggest Verizon should put opened surstromming in each Hub Box to prevent those union squirrels' sabotages.

If I were Lowell McAdam I would ramp up my "new" workforce and then politely explain to the Union that their services are no longer needed. Since 20% of the union population calls out sick annually, after doing the math, only 32,000 of the current... — read more 

What was that outcome of that meeting?

Do the math! 400 Million divided by 30000 workers is only $13333 per person. In 3 months fund is broke.

Name the accomplishments your wonderful employer has achieved over the past 3 years. Anyone who says go90, terramark, AOL, get it now, Redbox, Verizon at home, smart stores, destination stores, Diego Jackoff T Shirt Guy or HUM is disqualified!

It amazes me that the leadership of the union isn't trying to be more aggressive in getting the membership back to work. They are out playing golf and enjoying life while the membership they represent has no income and no medical coverage. It's good... — read more

They are in 130 bil in debt from wireless. Wireless has seen very slow growth and leveling off. They admit to a 2nd Q issue. (maybe due to the strike or due to its business plan ? )

Day 22 of the strike with no end in sight. The $3000 we had set aside is now depleted and the $200 union stipend barely covers necessities. We refinanced a car, we changed auto/home insurance, and we begged off deposits for our sons sports teams. We... — read more 

I am sure many have wondered, what is up with this guy? How can he even work for Verizon when he is making hundreds of anti-union posts on here morning, noon and night? Not to mention making his tedious replies in every half -decent thread. Who would... — read more 

How is it that a lot of these stupid threads are started and participated in during company time? Is it that these people just don't work for Verizon or are they just lazy dead weight who are wasting company time? Can anybody say hypocrites?
