Verizon hates you too
This is for all those managers who tow the company line! The pipe dream you had when you were hired is over. No matter how much assyou kiss or how many union brothers you suspend for bullshit (stuff I see you committing everyday,every strike)! you're... — read more
Smart Workers get a contract!
Ask your hero Lowell Mcadam, he has a contract with the company too!
Lots Of Public Support For This Strike
Did everyone suddenly become pro-union? Or what did Verizon do to these people? Like 8 out of every 10 people I speak to say they support the strikers. Seems like the company made a blunder this time.
EWA'ers Fastest way home from this B.S Lowell McAdam strike is to not get anything done. The more we get done, the longer we stay.
The Union Members are home with there families, we're not. This is where they live. Two people from my work location has just left with injuries, both on their way home right now to their kids. I missed my kids games this weekend. I tell you I'm... — read more
CWA STRENGTH
I'm working EWA and will not quit my job to show union support because I don't want my family to suffer. My understanding is that CWA has over 3.4 million dues paying members. Clearly almost none of them on a percentage basis are on strike at any... — read more

The True Definition of a Scab.
ANYONE, who is willing to do union work or cross a picket line during a strike. You have no courage, no self respect, no dignity, just the excuse that "I don't have any choice." Newsflash, you do have a choice. You and others can stand together and... — read more
CWA Stands for "Can't Win Anything"
Hahahah they really aren't gonna win this time. Stupid Union
Just Sayin...
CWW and IBEW are engaged in a legal strike per NLRB. VZ using existing / pre-trike non-Union employees to cover strikers' work is legal. These employees are not scabs, defined as workers hired specifically to replace strikers. Verizon cannot, by law... — read more
40k strikers, but no picketers seen?
Since Wednesday I've only seen 2 picketers. I see the union scumbags show up for the picket line in the same timely manner they show up for dispatches. Grab a sign, mumble something that rhymes and walk in a circle. That's your job for now and you... — read more
You've lost your pay. In two weeks you'll lose your benefits. In two more you'll lose your jobs.
You walked away from high paying jobs, most of you with 5 weeks paid vacation, full benefits including tuition, adoption, employee assistance programs, etc. All so Bernie could get some free press.
Keep telling yourselves you are not scabs
You are helping the company and taking our jobs, therefore you are currently acting as scabs. Who is a scab is determined by labor not management. At best you could say you were highly pressured and threatened by the company to do scab work, and you... — read more

Mcadam pitching a fit
While the Company continues to spout the same tired rhetoric at the bargaining table, it is clear that our members on the picket lines and through mobilization are having a significant effect on company operations. Commitment dates on installation... — read more
If VZ Execs are as greedy as union insists they are, wouldn't striking provide those execs with just the opp they were presumably hoping for?
Wouldn't walking off of the job increase the chances of a subsequent and permanent lock-out and wholesale replacement of the union being upheld as legal? If so, wouldn't greedy execs find that option too irresistable for them to pass up? If those... — read more
