Got inside info from a very reliable source Upper vz management very concerned about the length of the strike. Can't make a deal with yahoo for billions while the unions run a corporate greed campaign. They know that if they complete the deal for... — read more
What are you doing with the extra money?
I'm going to Las Vegas, getting a new motorcycle, and probably hitting up Daytona after this is done. Being prior military, this is just business as usual so as much as the union slobs want to complain about traveling further, they wouldn't know... — read more
Do the 2003 and after hires cross the picket lines? They have none of the benefits the union is fighting for. What do they do on Monday?
What are they fighting for?
Is it possible to cross in non right to work states?
Honest question. There's a small handful of us in my local (MD) that just don't give a rats assabout making a statement or playing some game of corporate cat and mouse, we just want a paycheck. Both of these guys are greedy and power hungry. I just... — read more
No paycheck, no healthcare coverage, no hope.
This is as low as I've ever felt, professionally. I cannot see this strike ending anytime soon or in a positive fashion. We need the concessions from the company in order to have jobs that are palatable, and the company obviously doesn't want us or... — read more
Still looking for a intelligent explanation as to why McDumb@ss would sell out Verizon.
Fios is the number 1 data and video service in the U.S. Consumers throughout the entire country have literally been begging for the service, and it is very profitable despite the blinded view of VZ Teamers. All of that being said, why would McDumb@ss... — read more
Why do we need unions when we have OSHA?
If its to protect the worker, well - they wouldn't need protection if they simply did their job for 8 hrs a day. If its about seniority, well - here in the real world, there is a big difference between a 20 yr worker who is so used to the union... — read more
Strike will not end until July
The two sides are way too far apart, and the union leadership is trying to make up for what they lost in the 2011 negotiations so they won't give up. The company isn't going to budge on their final proposal, and they know they don't have to since... — read more
At&t, T-mobile & Sprint are all finding the true market value of unlimited data, a product that everyone wants...
Verizon is wasting BILLIONS on Go90, an app that no one is or ever will be interested in. Sound like a good business strategy to anyone?
What if this was all planned???
What if, behind closed doors, this was all planned by the company's management and union's management. Strike just long enough for the company to save the money to meet the demands of the union with a little extra to make up for short-term financial... — read more
T-Mobile CEO takes aim at Verizon in 2016 predictions: ‘These guys don’t get it’
"Seriously. Look at the year they’ve had…. They hike activation fees, roll out perma-cookies, increase rates on grandfathered customers, fine customers more than a billion in overage penalties, hit one poor couple with a $2 million bill, spend... — read more
Results of 6pm conference call today.
Will start out with "One day longer, one day stronger". Union will tell you they are meeting with the company tomorrow (which they are). Union will give company counter proposal. Company will say have made last best final offer, which of those four... — read more
In the end....
The Union leaders backed themselves into a corner and can't get out without losing face. In the end union members are getting screwed. This is the end.
If I hear these things on the 6pm conference call I will mist likely smash my phone into pieces....
1)One day longer, one day stronger. 2) anything in regards to public opinion. 3) Anything in reference to corporate greed. 4)Really, any type of rah rah BS that I have heard thousands of times before. Tell us something new, and helpful and save the... — read more
In the end...
The union will get a better deal then what's on the table now All the EWAs will feel they have been sh--ted on and sold out by the vz execs plus a lifetime of nightmares and stress from this strike It's happened before. Trust me. In the end the vz... — read more
How to bust a union. Time and money....
Union folks, you have neither and Verizon has unlimited.
Union members just stop and let the Union leaders do their job!
Just blindly follow them like the followers of Hitler, Moussolini, Jim Jones, Manson. They thought they were doing the right things too.
I know everyone is hoping for a quick end here but it's just not going to happen.
I just hope we have jobs to go back to, seeng all the adds for replacements.
Why all the dam bickering!!!!
I am on EWA. I like the money don't get me wrong. I also miss my family. I understand why the company sent us here, though I don't agree. I understand because the company has a business to run, I disagree because they are separating thousands of... — read more
Is Lowell McAdam Doing Triple Play's This Weekend? Or is He Home Relaxing With His Family?
Food for thought, as you continue with your valiant effort for Mr. McAdam. Prove that he's right, and the American worker is wrong. You shall do the fighting for him, as he watches your effort from his home, It may not look like it right now but, He... — read more

The United States of America killed Osama bin Laden, and we came together as a country.
FSC Scab Reps Promoted to NT's
Woooohooo I'm getting a promotion!!!! Hope you dirty Union bastards never come back!!!
EWA worker here.
Since doing EWA work I have had to increase my medication. The stress is taking its toll.
Thousands of Verizon IBEW union members in New Jersey on strike also
Cannot get unemployment in New Jersey, nothing. No union strike fund, nothing. No offer by the union to help with medical, nothing.
Google invests heavily in fiber network & Project Fi (check), Comcast invests in fiber, buys NBC & DreamWorks (check), At&t buys DirecTv (check)
Verizon buys Aol and invests heavily in Go90 & hum (check???)
Is somebody paying for all this anti-union posting?
Nobody can have this sad of a life can they? I hope they are at least getting paid to post all this garbage.
Is this the Site where all the managers go after they get Rif'd?
seems like like you guys have quite the crowd.
May 5th is national action day. 40,000 union employees keep fighting for good jobs in Verizon wireline and wireless.
I assume most of the wireless employees are not unionized. Why do they need the Union to fight for a good job for them by unions picketing infront of the wireless stores nation wide? I assume the strikers number is no longer the 40,000. Why does the... — read more
Union VS. Hippies
This is sort of a thinking test. Dig deep down inside yourself and answer honestly - and of course, use your best judgement to decide - which one is Union and which one is Hippie? ================== I want what is owed to me. Others people are... — read more
Perspective
Like very other union member before your time, If you want to win contracts, like in business and win big in life you need to develop a super strong mindset… the mindset of a champion, during the contract negotiations , I think it’s important that... — read more

Verizon made a great offer, it's time for Verizon and the union to part ways!
