I support the union's stance if you are not satisfied with the offer. I've looked through the stand up to Verizon site but I don't see specifically what a satisfactory negotiated offer would be. What specifically are your non-negotiables? I don't... — read more

REGIONAL BARGAINING REPORT #65 Thursday April 26, 2016
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Committee met with the Company in Philadelphia this afternoon. The Company passed a comprehensive proposal, calling it the best and final proposal, which still fails to address many of our members’ concerns. We have been on... — read more
without the CWA this job is not worth having
The only reason we have what we do today is because of past sacrifices of the CWA. You see how the company treated you the past 16 months WITH a union, what do you think it would be like without one? Send me all the letters you want, make all the... — read more
Union has the timing right, now press the advantage!
Verizon seems hell-bent on PR suicide! Let them have it then. They will reap the whirlwind. Company cheerleaders just don't get it, this is not the year for Union-busting.
From one VZ union member to another...
What are you "not good enough" members smoking? What do you really think you're going to get? A majority of us don't want to be a part of a "movement"... burger flippers are NOT worth $15 an hour, college should not be free, nor should healthcare. A... — read more
Note to EWA's.....Another Long Weekend Ahead.
Have a nice phone call to your family tonight. Sleep tight, 12 hours tomorrow, 12 hours Saturday and 12 hours Sunday. And the new week begins.

HOW DO YOU COME TO A "BARGAINING" SESSION WITH PRERECORDED VIDEOS?
This was not a barging session. This was a shove it down your throat session. The full impact of this strike was not felt when they made these videos, and proposals. When they made these Videos 10 days ago, they had not had yesterdays outage numbers... — read more
The union is currently considering its next steps in the bargaining process

Wow Verizon

Can you all really be this stupid? When you buy a car, do you pay the sticker price? Do you really have no clue as to how negotiations work?
Can you all really be this stupid? When you buy a car, do you pay the sticker price? Do you really have no clue as to how negotiations work? The company made their offer. The union will piss and moan for a few days then come back with a counter... — read more

"Over????????
"Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough.. The tough get goin'. Who's with me?????
Panhandling is an option
If you're good at it, it beats $200 a week and walking in circles yelling at ladies trying to shop.
This strike is going into May
Seems like VZ is being arrogant with these offers that include date specific clauses. We will take this away ONLY if ratified by May 20 Sounds like something a car dealer salesman tries to pull on you. "This car, this color, this deal only available... — read more
So this is basically a 2 year deal?
and the Union has to go through this again in 2018, don't see how thats gonna fly.
If the final offer is accepted...
are the union folks going to come back and be One Team, One Dream? Seems to me, many people HATE this company, HATE their top management and HATE their coWorkers. WHY are you even hoping for a negotiated deal? Seems like a pretty sh--ty work... — read more

No Givebacks!!!
Throw that offer in the fire!
Does anyone recall the Sienfeld episode "The Strike" in the final season?
Kramer was on strike for 12 years from H&H Bagels and no one even knew there was a strike. Kind of like the union strike against Verizon, no one knows and no one cares. Wel'll see the union people back in 12 years if ever. Well, no all, the smart... — read more
