More to follow. The conditions and the work load are the reasons they are stating.

Take your time. No one should get injured. Please work safely

Morning Lowell! I've been keeping a journal of what I see out here on strike. Very interesting! I love observing: Unprofessional, untrained people doing very dangerous work, is a mixture for disaster! These so called trainees, are picking up downed... — read more 

Please put a radio ad on 1010WINS I am so sick of hearing Verizon's commercial being played every 10 minutes about the strike.

We "serfs" squabble among each other about the issues of here and now, but where is the perspective? The fall of Rome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNWBgRWn9YM Oh the parallels between Rome and the US in the modern day.. Also, as described here:... — read more

Once upon a time having Verizon as your service provider was like having a piece of America, like GM and Apple Pie. Nowadays GM means Government Motors and having Verizon as your provider means supporting foreign governments and companies that don't... — read more 

Getting rid of Verizon Wireless. Going to go to a Union Company AT&T Wireless. Have had Verizon Wireless almost 20 years. Time to send Lowell Hasn't A Clue McAdumbs a message. EVERYONE switch to AT&T. Screw McAdumbs.

She makes more than $121K a year by sticking her hand in your pocket every week. But that's not why she's smiling. She's smiling because while you're out walking the picket lines to get her more members, she's still getting paid.

I understand you feel you have the right to fight for what you believe in, as a spouse who has seen many strikes over the years I am still baffled by the situation. These so called “scaps” are your co-workers! They didn’t have a choice, its either go... — read more
