What a load of p--p. Within hours of an East coast shut down, Verizon pulls this turd right out of the p--p chute. This company is so predictably stupid, that it's getting embarrassing. What a bunch of jokers.

Can we also acknowledge how royally screwed management employees are getting as well? Most are just middle class people who have no say in any of this. You have guys with three days training getting sent out to the Bronx and having to drive over an... — read more

Any tips for me? I'll have my pistol and mace on my side. I have the right to work and the stupid Union can't do anything about it! Verizon is a good company and has paid out bills! I'll be laughing as I drive by you Union thugs in the morning!

It seems a little funny, all the post here about how much Verizon makes and how much they pay in Executive compensation and Dividends to stock holders. All of the Verizon CWA and IBEW Union Represented employees that participate in the company's... — read more

“Marc Reed and other Verizon executives are trying to rig the system against working families. The question of federal mediation is a distraction to the real problem: Verizon's corporate greed. Historically, federal mediators only get involved in... — read more

They have been hit with layoffs and wireless employees might have a different thought process about organizing. Might be a perfect time.

If the union does not strike at this point and accepts this mediation as condition to not to strike then this whole thing was orchestrated from the very start.

I am thinking about building a discussion board where Union members of different companies can discuss things (something similar to what they have here). I am trying to figure out if there is some potential there. How many companies have union... — read more
