People up the street just got fios. Truck was there all day. I asked them how it went. We are not exactly friends, just neighbors. They said it took a long time but the techs were very professional and thorough. They said the rechs wanted to make... — read more
Why don't these union people go find other jobs if they think they are treated so badly at Verizon?
Leaders and good workers don't sit around and complain incessantly if they don't like their job. They go find a job that better suits them.

Strikers call for boycott of Wireless.

To the guy who keeps telling everyone to quit if they don't like it.
How about if YOU don't like working for a company that has a UNION, then YOU quit? Go be a management suckup at some non-union company. Furthermore If you knew anything about the history of this country, you would know the contribution of unions to... — read more

The definition of an economic strike. As there seems to be some confusion. Also the link to back this up.
Economic strikers defined. If the object of a strike is to obtain from the employer some economic concession such as higher wages, shorter hours, or better working conditions, the striking employees are called economic strikers. They retain their... — read more
Verizon doesn't care about any of us management or craft employees
VDSI, Telformoance, Afni, tel vista Thousands of rifs, no fair contract Couldn't care less about American workers. Just want to charge American prices

Just got a look at Friday's paycheck. Only 24 hours OT but a 5% jump in federal withholdings. Damn. I wonder what the 5-6 check will look like.
5-6 should have 88 OT hours. 12x7 sucks but I'll take all I can get.
Without the CWA this job is not worth having.
The decent pay and great benefits were negotiated by CWA, not given to us by Lowell Mcadam. Look at how they have treated us in the last year WITH a union, just imagine what it would be like to work for them without Union representation! The work... — read more
What can we say about Verizon Management?
The best lack all conviction. while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
Looks like the CWA backed the wrong house. Next stop, unemployment line.
Picket line to unemployment line to welfare line. What do you tell your kids? You walked away from a high paying job, no marketable skills, and now you're headed for the poor house. What a bunch of sad misslead sheep.
Verizon's plan is failing, because they miscalculated the effectiveness of the EWA
They are just not trained and experienced to maintain proper productivity. Everyday Verizon is losing revenue, they just were not expecting too. They thought the EWA would preform enough for them to keep there head above water enough to replace the a... — read more

OK, Bernie lost the NY primary. Can we go back to work now????
Call up the mediators and tell them we are ready to talk now. No sense in us standing around not getting paid anymore. Sanders, is done Hillary will be the next president and we played our part as extras in the NY primary show.
Every mgmt employee, including myself knows that VZ will not think a bit about our families when they RIF us.
Every soldier works to feed their family. No one really cares about winning or losing because they have no say in the battle. The kings and their ministers declare the war. They knew that you need money to feed your family. And the foot soldiers are... — read more

For those who want to know the truth. Verizon has been robbing the American people blind for a long time.
If you are a union supporter or not you should know what this greedy company is doing and has done to the people of this country. They have promised everything and delivered nothing. Now they want to shut down critical infrastructure in order to rip... — read more
