Just an observation: all the union posts and replies are misspelled and illiterate, while all the management posts are coherent and legible. Also, one would think that the info coming from company employees would be more credible, since they are... — read more

Has Trump stated a position on the Verizon strike? I would think many of the union members would support him in his attempt to "make America great again" however he's about as Big Business as they come.

Lowell was on top of his game today. He arrived via limo as usual and was greeted by some of his chief HB-1'ers and fed his traditional breakfast, an egg mcmuffin with extra curry and a tall glass of room temperature goat urine. He then did a... — read more 

And with that I am gone. Best of luck to everyone on both sides. God bless us all.

Hope not to offend anyone - but be steadfast with prayer as you strike the mighty giant of Verizon! Let prayer be your war cry! Anything is possible and you can win these negotiations. You're dealing with executives who could care less, but stand... — read more 

My husband is currently an EWA worker (it sucks) but before he moved up he was an outside tech. Some of his old partners are currently on strike. We would like to do something for them as I cannot fathom the stress I would be under if our pay... — read more 

All previous offers are now off the table. There won't be anymore "talks" unless the CWA is willing to make major concessions. Strikers have to the end of the month to come back on their own or lose their benefits and their jobs. It doesn't matter... — read more 

Two in lawn chairs, one sitting in the ground as cars drove in. Their signs were staked knit the grass. Very lazy, as we've come to expect from the cwa. It was pretty pathetic. Shocker, all three were grossly overweight.

Everyone was pumped lol, Verizon is doing fine I mean there is backlog of install tickets but repair tickets are caught up and call queues are clear. Union better come to terms with themselves if they wish to continue to have a job.

There have been questions regarding Verizon's letter to striking CWA members saying that our health care benefits will be discontinued at the end of April should we still be on strike. Anyone who has a chronic health issue requiring medication... — read more

"Not my job." "Work to rule." These things will be gone along with the bums who profess them. What other improvements will we see?

....Verizon breaks the union(it won't but let's pretend) your cell phone bill will keep going up...your Fios will keep going up...no new build out to lower income towns......another 40k unemployed and not buying anything to contribute to the economy... — read more

If you know people who want a job with competitive salary and benefits, tell them to contact Verizon immediately. You are replaceable!!

To gut the Union contract for their own business interests, or to make it more of a sellable asset? I think the latter. If they can make serious headway on concessions, wireline will be gone within 6 months.

In this political season where "corporate greed" is someone's mantra, if this company locked out 40,000 employees, they would be done. Especially with the millenials, whom they covet so much. Workers will be back soon (under a month), and federal... — read more

If Lowell cared about the customer he wouldn't have associates doing a job for the customer that they're not trained to do. It's just disrespectful and contemptuous to a paying customer.

You look like an idiot

And if that mockingbird don't sing, Uncle Lowell's gonna starrrrrt RIIFFing.
