The union is correct in one major point, Verizon doesn't give a crap about their employees. As a spouse who's back at home trying to keep the home front running all the while the EWA's are out working long hours, trying to do the best then can, and... — read more

Today's forecast, thunder, lightening, windy & rain. How many will be injured today? How many lives will unnecessarily be put at risk?
Turn in your badge and keys. Go home to your family safe and in one piece.
You're Not Alone...
Another day of looking over your shoulder, checking under the van, inside the tailpipe and under the tires. Are we watching from around the bend? From behind the bush? Do you feel us watching? Yes, you do.
It'll Be 0700 Soon...
Time To Get Out There And Sell Your Soul For A Little Extra Overtime. Meanwhile, I've Already Been Asked To Spend The Night & Tuck Your Kids In. Hope Losing Your Family Was Worth It.
Verizon Losing Customers in the thousands daily. Time Warner in NYC has same day appointments for installs and switching over from no services.
Verizon is losing customers daily in all areas, as the competition seizes the opportunity on Verizon failure to replace the Union work force.
All union and EWA employees lack intelligence.
Union employees say the union is great! We are all brothers in the brotherhood! Solidarity! EWA employees think if I see my EWA duty through maybe I will keep my job, or maybe I will be rewarded or have a higher value than others because I let myself... — read more

Verizon's Unneccessary Self Inflicted Wounds
And all that the company had to do to avoid all of this self-inflicted chaos and humiliation was to renew the contract. So now the managers may have more cash, but they will never forget how the company sold them out like sheep And the customers will... — read more

Strike Ending Announcement
Rumors abound a deal is in place and should be closed by weeks end? Any truth to this?
Customers Leaving in droves....Verizon hemorrhaging.... EWA workers overwhelmed.
70,000 installs in the cue. Customers can't even get through to cancel service. How much more can this last? It's just an all out A$$ whooping right now by the CWA/IBEW Unions. They are not going to let up now that they are absolutely destroying the... — read more
Many problems with the Verizon call centers.
Wait times are half an hour or more. Many customers are not being serviced correctly. Recording ask customers to be patient due to a strike. Replacements are overly apologizing. They have no clue how to handle the customer. This is a sad situation.
6 HRS and 4 EWA to lay Temp drop
Recorded, 4 EWA spent 6 hrs at cust hs just to lay 50ft temp cut while mowing. Service restored after 3 onts replaced and all 8 customers disconnected . I say 4 weeks total and FiOS will be total darkness.
Loosers
Most anti-union posts here comes from "i live in my mommas basement" jokers. They would not last a day in VZ field work. 28ft ladder, 3 poles plan 105 degrees and 4 troubles waiting, oh with your sup asking whats taking you so long. See its not about... — read more
My prediction is that the union ends the walk out tomorrow to avoid making any strike fund payments.
EWA Training was inadequate
I have a thing or two to say about the current situation with EWAs. Sending out HR, IT and Finance people to do craft work with only cursory training was rather irresponsible on behalf of VZ mgt. In 2011, the post mortem view was that managers did... — read more
Wireline Internet and tv is dead?
Charter communications has justice dept approval to buy time warner cable. I guess they have different ideas than Verizon. Don't believe Verizon's lies!!!!!!
CWA/IBEW UNIONS DELIVERING A BEATING TO VERIZON. EWA STAFF OVERWHELMED. CUSTOMERS FLEEING. JUDGEMENT DAY FOR VERIZON.
Verizon will not win this fight in America in an election year that has all candidates fighting for American jobs, and fighting against corporate greed. Verizon is now the poster child for corporate greed.
A heads up is deserved
Keep an eye out for these EWA's any unsafe acts from someone not qualified to do this work could be a lifetime mistake for these people. They don't want to be here this is totally unfamiliar for most. Lets just make sure everyone gets to go home... — read more
