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

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

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
