Nothing changes, strike continues. Union caves, comes back to work with mediation. Company announces lock out. ??? (Please, I don't know, you don't know, just speculation without cursing or insults.)

The bitterness of the company shills is intensifying! Keep it up my fellow CWA/IBEW brothers and sisters, we have them on the ropes, the sharks are circling and there is blood in the water...

Why don't Verizon pull the trigger already?!?!?!? Plenty of fast food places hiring for the displaced workers after they leach off unemployment which they are good at doing cuz they know how to leach off others!

Look at the stock price today ... +2.5% and rising. Fact. So much for those "strike is causing the stock price to dump!!" theories. Shows the intelligence of the union folk. Stick to wires, beers and pliers. Brains required for finance.

Need to know! So sick and tired of the union nonsense

So, to save the middle class you walked out, gave up two weeks pay, and will come crawling back to work next week agreeing to work under the expired contract with mediation, just like the company offered the day before you walked?

Just to be clear ---> The union pleaded for the mediated meeting. "insider"

Spoke to Union leadership in our Hall, 1107 in Rockland County NY, locals have no say this time around. Decisions being made above district level as well. We're headed for mediation under our old contract or possibly never coming back. Prepare for a... — read more
