But, i know, lowell and franny have the matter at hand under control.
EWA worker
I'm tired of being kicked around this isn't my job nor my fight can you please resolve this issue so I can return to my family and job.
Hey Lowell
Stocks not looking very stable, are you having problems
SCAB Contractors in VA cause network FIOS outage.
So funny. Please bring back the people who know how to do the job.
Temporary workers
Verizon isn't verifying background checks and not insuring them who are they where do they come from can they work in my home are they safe?
Accepts Lowell's Offer
Offer made today by Lowell himself ! Accept and let's move on!
Just sign the contract so we can all go back to what we are doing.
You will have four years to look for another job before Verizon sells the sh--. You are not getting paid this Friday and your health benefits run out at the end of the month. I know your families are hurting. So just sign the f---ing contract. When... — read more
Dumb Pipes?
Since 1880 - long before the current crop of characters pretending to lead the company, then as now, we made bundles of money by hooking people up and allowing them to communication with each other. Plumbing is not a sexy business, but somebody still... — read more
Let vlss get a dose of reality.
Here's hoping some of these vlss Blackbelts are getting a dose of reality and finding out some of the difficulties they've created with their slash slash slash mentality.
Verizon should put management staff in the field more often so they can learn more about the business
Think about it. Most office staff have never seen a FiOS install or the inside of a Central Office. Many have never come in contact with a real external customer in their entire career here. Few can fully appreciate what exactly it is that Verizon... — read more
Verizon Should Just Fire All Those Lazy Union Workers who walked off the job!!!!! Anywhere else they'd been fired!
Please Verizon please!
Barny Rubble Sez
Shammo also said he was “absolutely confident at this point in time” that Verizon would reach its target for profits per share for the year of $3.99. Still, he conceded it might be “too early” to see any impacts from the strike yet. From Fortune.com... — read more

FIXED WIRELESS BROADBAND
So VZ execs are sold on the stupid idea of fixed wireless broadband that will eliminate need for wireline. Ok, the radio waves needs line of sight (infrared) to every router, base station every 5miles or so. Seems like a great project for a desert... — read more
In NY strikers can get unemployment payments after 49 days.
This is bullshit. Why should my taxes go to pay bums walked off the job that pays more than I make?
Advertising for jobs on indeed.com. This strike is going to be long. http://www.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=ffc947c9d9d29ad8&from=serp

The Stock Price Tells All
The stock is down $4/ share since Apr 4, and broke through its $51 support level. The company is on the ropes, and the Board will not likely let the srike make it to the elections. Keep on the pressure CWA & IBEW. They execs wanted to starve FiOS and... — read more
If the union people are so unhappy why don't they quit and go find a job somewhere else?
I don't understand why they stay in a job they hate and complain instead of finding something else to do.
Taking big risks with EWAs
Back in the 80s and 90s, it probably made sense to use management employees to temporarily fill in for striking workers. With today's workforce composition, I feel the company is putting managers in harms way sending them out on these assignments... — read more
Verizon Says Labor Strife Will Put Pressure on Earnings

Go Teamsters! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2016/04/20/one-of-the-nations-largest-pension-funds-could-soon-cut-benefits-for
At least our pensions aren't managed by the CWA. Just another example of a union screwing over its members.
Verizon revenue falls short, says strike to hit profit

Is Verizon going to sell its FIOS Service?

The Corrupt Corporate Media favor Verizon over truth
Don't believe the hype. http://fair.org/home/when-both-sides-are-covered-in-verizon-strike-bosses-side-is-heard-more/
Verizon tries to change the narrative with fake reports of sabotage.
What do you do when the public hates you and you are getting beat up in the press?
Day nine. Nine down nine to go. I say that the union will let their members lose another week of pay then crawl back with some lame victory tale
the last weekend of the month. They know most of their members care enough about their families not to risk them going uninsured and will cross. Of course some hard cores will tote the union line all the way to homelessness, still blaming the big... — read more

Squirrel Force Five secret message: "Keep on Flossing"
Grown men posting this type of stupid crap have to be more than a little effeminate. Squirrel force five, come on, out of the closet already.
Did anyone else have a problem with their paycheck being short money?
I saw in another post that someone was short almost $400 and mine was short almost $500. Curious as to how many others are having this issue. I wonder if the union techs had problems with their paychecks like this as well?
Tomorrow's The Big Day. Q1 Results.
Of course Shamwow and his clown show will lie their asses off about the numbers as always. Got to paint a rosey picture for the precious shareholders.
Network sabotage
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/criminals-put-thousands-verizon-customers-210100040.html
Deal reached
Union bosses made out as they always do. They intend to let the grunts bleed for two or three more weeks to make the sh!tty contact they signed feel worthwhile.
Heard Verizon cancelled deliveries from UPS.
UPS workers are not scabs! Thanks Brothers and Sisters!
Coincidence? I think not. Wow.

I don't understand why the union doesn't just go back and take mediation now instead of waiting until the end of the month.
Everyone already knows that's what's going to happen. Why do we have to lose another weeks pay?
Verizon is very much like the original AT&T
Verizon's current execs remind me of the execs at AT&T. They also bragged about moving into 'the future' and went out of their way to get out of most things basic telecomm, only to make a mess of all of it, and end up being purchased by baby Bells... — read more
