And this guy says that Verizon supports America. Looks more like he supports open borders to keep wages down and illegal immigration up... — read more
Executive Board, DO YOUR JOB !!!
As a shareholder of a fairly large amount of Verizon stock, I respectfully request that the Board of Directors immediately go to the Linkedin article that Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam wrote today and take a long, hard look at the many responses that the... — read more
Union (and non-union) workers are not primarily at war with VZ but rather are primarily at war with the laws of supply and demand.
When your total comp inclusive of benefits reaches the point where you earn 40-50% more than non-union market, the laws of supply and demand themselves say that you "deserve" to lose your job to a non-union replacement from the market. Same laws... — read more
Lowell jumps the shark
I would have to say that his LinkedIn post was probably the moment in his career that will ultimately lead to his end as our fearless leader.
Contract negotiations
During a strike do the unions and the company still negotiate every few days or at this point the union is done until the company is ready to talk?
Lowell
How do you reconcile your "investment in America" with your company's stated policy on refusal to support/upgrade existing wireline service customers on copper, and your demand that customers "upgrade" to fiber - an upgrade that deprives them of... — read more
Again, a look at the facts
Verizon Communications Inc., & All Its Subsidiaries & Affiliates has filed 85 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 333 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2013 to 2015. Verizon Communications, & All Its Subsidiaries &... — read more
Majority of People Striking Appear African-American
Wonder how many of them have college degrees? Trump2016!
Why picket 140 West St and not 1095 Avenue of the Americas?

PR disaster unfolding
This is a PR disaster,Board of Directors where the hell are you? Not only do you have the whole middle class hating the company, you've got the next Prez pointing out the greed. This is no way to run a company.
Verizon CEO slams Bernie Sanders' 'contemptible' views
Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam took a big shot at Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday for siding with striking Verizon workers and criticizing McAdam's company. Thousands of East Coast Verizon workers walked off the job earlier... — read more
FIRST DAY
and they are pouring across the line... Nice to see some who want to work and think for themselves. Make sure you resign before you cross so you can't get fined.
Bernie
I am so surprised at all the Union Members kissing Bernie's a@@. I would have thought being tough salt of the earth type people they would care about their 2nd amendment.
Youtube
Hey big talkers where are all the youtube videos you promised?
Contractors, interns and outsourcing
That's the future of this company
Why would anyone do business with a company that has unions?
I certainly wouldn't want to depend on service from a company whose employees think they deserve to have better pay and benefits than normal people do, and who will walk off their jobs because they have to contribute to their healthcare benefits like... — read more
I support VZ Workers
I am with a financial services company. The unions have said Verizon wants to freeze pensions, make layoffs easier and rely more on contract workers. It's sad companies are trying to do this now. Instead of offering quality employment they would... — read more
Just canceled my $160/month fios service. On hold for more than a hour. What's the problem, I thought they had our jobs covered.
"What's your reason for wanting to cancel your services today?" NO CONTRACT, NO FIOS!
Looking at the news clips on Youtube.
Not sure what to think about how things are going.
Verizon: The Cell Phone For Republicans.
Hate the riff raff? So does Verizon.
Do a lot of EWAs not show up?
Obviously fire then but anyone remember back in 2011 if many just go f--- this and leave?
This is one of those come to Jesus 'justice' moments. Lomac and Reed did this to themselves.
This is one of those "justice" moments for all of the people who have been riffed over the past few years. The company can spin but they cannot sustain the level of service given the minimal training provided - last year.
THE UNION WILL LOSE!!!
Health care costs are rising too quickly and defined benefit pension's are a thing of the past.
Almost two hours in and the stock is up.68%. That's what happens when you get rid of your biggest expense in a service company.

Let's go, get out of the garage!
Take good care of our customers and remember: Verizon collared shirt, out of garage in 20 minutes, no calls to drc or fsc, no idling, no bathroom stops, steel toes, gloves, glasses, 188, careful drilling (don't want you hitting power, water, gas... — read more
So where do I show up?
Where do I show up today? Everything received so far officially is wishy washy
Glad to see the Union has kept us up to date through out the night!
We will get to our picket locations and our Union Reps will have no news either. Let the frustration, boredom, and shame begin.
Here's a last minute history lesson before all the fun begins...
Whether you are union, non-union, management, i.t., or engineering, one thing is for certain. The only reason you have a lunch break, sick time, retirement, healthcare and vacation time, just to mention a few, is because of ORGANIZED LABOR. If not... — read more
Hope Verizon hold them out
I can't believe that these people want more money. I know someone who started there a year ago and they start out at $32 an hour in the call center. I don't agree with the amount of money that Verizon is making business wise either because if they... — read more
Union Thugs
Seriously you Union people are nothing more than a bunch of thugs who deserve to be jobless and have your kids put in foster care! I hope Verizon locks all ur azzes out!
Should I say hello to union member I often work with?
I have been debating on this. I very often work with techs who are union members. As I have been working with and spend time on the phone years, I feel like they are buddies of mine and I would be very glad to see them face to face. I have not met... — read more
