Pending ratification. No particulars as of yet..

Just saw a 4 yr extinction on the union contract. Hopefully its somewhat decent but time will tell

Plan is coming down the line. Regardless of contract extension or not. À la ups style

$5000 per year of service to leave the company. No restrictions . 5 years or 50 years. Major downsizing is wanted by the company. No ipp offer. Across the board. They will back fill and train if needed for some job titles.

The Soquel Union Elementary School District board will consider a layoff proposal. This plan involves eliminating nearly 17 full-time equivalent positions. The decision follows an impasse in contract negotiations with the teachers union. District officials cite declining enrollment and a yearslong budget deficit. The union seeks a 3% wage increase and increased health benefits.

L3H software personnel are going to have a RIF and be replaced by AI by the end of 2026.

1% of your salary to union dues, would buy you a ton of protection from the (allegedly) fraudulent leadership we have.

Do you want to just keep rolling the dice on endless layoffs? Or have a much bigger 3rd party with all the legal resources provide a degree of protection.

Think your salary is below where it should be. Union rep to review your case.

Think you’re being wrongfully terminated because of your age. Union to hold Nike accountable to age discrimination.

Think you’re stuck at a certain level even though you’ve put years in… Union.

Think leadership compensation has gotten out of hand. Union to pressure under the threat of a labor strike… to balance compensation back to the workers.

Real question. How many would be in? Think we could get 50.01% of corporate workforce?

Let’s just list all the rumors we have heard so I will go first heard the they want to get rid of the lump sum in contract also they want to lay off another 14,000 managers last day November.Now go ahead what you hear

Will be communicated through unions and worker councils depending on local laws. That's what I heard but do not know how the numbers break down.

My union president said a strike is the only thing to prevent major concessions being demanded in beargaing by the company. Be ready to accept 1.5 and if lucky some 2’s and crazy insurance increases like we have never seen.

Share this site with your colleagues it’s important that we all communicate with each other. What’s happening in this company is ridiculous. Sammy has destroyed this companyl

Share this site,we need to create a union!

I talked to my union president today regarding negotiations. He said talks are not going well. He informed me that the union would put out a notification to all members by Friday. Buckle Up!!!

A judge denied the Teamsters' request for an injunction. This decision allows UPS to proceed with its driver separation plan. The order was issued Friday by Judge Denise Casper. The union had sought to block the program. UPS can now implement the separation initiative.

There are talks of Unionizing among American Workers at Cigna. Down with HIH .

Thoughts?

Executives are coming for our jobs and we have to come together to stop it. We need a white collar union!

We need to unionize before its too late!

Theres a ton of union titles that still exist. In past company has just surplussed those titles to bare minimums. Example coin collectors, storekeepers. Besides outside linemen do we really need inside techs? Central Office techs literally change cards and replace fibers. The trouble shooting is done by management and when a device needs replacement a CO tech does the physical work that takes 5 minutes.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is considering significant staff reductions. Over 27 full-time equivalent positions are targeted for elimination. These cuts include early reading intervention teachers and custodial staff. The district cites declining enrollment and budget pressures as reasons for the proposed layoffs. Parents and a union are actively protesting these planned reductions.

Elk Grove Unified School District board members voted to eliminate or reassign numerous classified positions. This reduction totaled 60.0388 full-time equivalent positions across various roles. The board simultaneously approved a significant pay raise for its own members. Their maximum monthly compensation will increase from $750 to $3,000. This decision occurred amidst a nearly $35 million district deficit and union objections.

The compensation reviews this week are just another reminder that we are seen as nothing more than an expendable mouth to feed. Meets all expectations? We don’t care. Exceeds all expectations? Thanks for your free overtime. Remote work saved PNC during the pandemic. Online banking rolled out to over 11 million customers. Acquiring BBVA and FirstBank. Record revenue and growth. A record high stock price this year. What do we get out of it? RTO5 and an increase that most likely wouldn’t even cover parking fees for 60 days. Really 1.25%…. 1.5%. I haven’t heard anyone get over 2%. I guess this is what brilliantly boring means for employees. Just a friendly reminder Bill aka prince of darkness was compensated over $20M in 2024 (https://www.salary.com/research/executive-compensation/william-s-demchak-executive-member-of-pnc-financial-svcs-group-inc)

Anyone hear any news or updates?

80% of the 13,000 employees that were laid off last year were off the books by Dec 2025

Last year, our employee count was 99,205

VZ had 4,800 employees leave as part of the VSP by Mar 2025

This firm has been shedding employees for over a decade and its share price is -15% over the last 5 years.

What gives? Please don’t say DEI

Any news of craft layoffs in southeast in 2nd quarter in Louisiana ?

Its time all White Collar workers unionize before its too late!

Mo--ngo Unified School District (MUSD) Board of Trustees met recently. Union representatives voiced concerns regarding budget and staffing decisions. The California School Employees Association (CSEA) protested the layoff of five health techs. Mo--ngo Teachers Association (MTA) advocated for fair teacher compensation and smaller class sizes. Despite these concerns, the Board unanimously approved the CSEA/MUSD tentative agreement.

To stop people like MW from laying all the White Collar jobs, we need to unite. Its time for a White Collar Union. He has a hunger that won't be satisfied to layoff. We have to make it harder on him!

Watch the wording $150,000.00 "PACKAGE" offer. Clever attempt at Union busting to cause in house disloyalty. If company can only lobe 1 offer around Union negotiated contract agreements , they have set an established pattern to go around the Union always. Deals and offers must be first approved by Union.

Springfield Public Schools laid off 27 teachers. These mid-year layoffs occurred in January 2026. The cuts resulted from a new union contract. This contract included a retroactive 4% pay increase. Teachers and students faced significant grief and uncertainty.

Its time that White Collar jobs unionize before we are all laid off. People like Darren will stop at nothing to lay us all off. We need to join together to fight!

California cardrooms face significant disruption from new state gambling rules. New state regulations were proposed by Attorney General Bonta. The industry expects to close blackjack games and lay off 13,000 workers. Local governments anticipate large tax revenue losses. The gaming association plans a lawsuit against the state.

With AI coming, should engineers unionize? I believe upper management is going to continue to squeeze engineers and with knowledge worker tasks being transferred to AI agents... it makes the work of an engineer procedural rather than design. That's very much like factory work.

I don't see any other way to spread the wealth. The alternative feels like "to get squeezed".

Dear Dan Schulman,
I am writing to respectfully urge decisive leadership in reaching a timely and forward-looking agreement with the union representing Verizon’s workforce. A prolonged contract dispute is more than a labor issue — it is a strategic business risk that affects competitiveness, brand trust, operational stability, and long-term shareholder value.
In today’s telecommunications environment, reliability and service quality are inseparable from workforce stability. Highly skilled technicians, customer service professionals, and infrastructure specialists form the backbone of network performance and customer satisfaction. When negotiations extend unnecessarily, uncertainty erodes morale, productivity declines, and institutional knowledge becomes vulnerable to attrition. The financial impact of workforce disruption — even without a strike — often exceeds the cost of reaching a fair agreement earlier.
More importantly, resolving an extended contract now positions Verizon Communications for strategic advantage in several measurable ways:

1. Operational Continuity and Service Excellence
   A secure and engaged workforce delivers more consistent network performance, faster deployment of infrastructure upgrades, and stronger customer experience metrics — all critical differentiators in a highly competitive market.
2. Cost Predictability and Risk Reduction
   Prolonged labor uncertainty introduces hidden costs: contingency planning, delayed projects, reputational exposure, and potential customer churn. A stable contract converts uncertainty into predictable budgeting and planning horizons.
3. Competitive Positioning in 5G and Next-Generation Infrastructure
   Network expansion and technological innovation require cooperation and trust between leadership and labor. Alignment accelerates deployment timelines, improves implementation quality, and strengthens execution discipline — all essential in maintaining industry leadership.
4. Talent Retention and Recruitment
   The telecommunications sector competes aggressively for technical expertise. A demonstrated commitment to fair, timely agreements signals stability and respect, strengthening recruitment and reducing costly turnover.
5. Brand Reputation and Investor Confidence
   Markets reward stability. Customers and investors view constructive labor relations as a sign of strong governance and long-term strategic clarity. Early resolution communicates disciplined leadership and operational foresight.
6. Long-Term Financial Performance
   Sustained productivity, reduced disruption risk, and improved execution capability directly support revenue growth, margin stability, and capital efficiency. In practical terms, a timely agreement is not simply a labor expense — it is an investment in operational resilience.
   History across multiple industries shows that companies that treat labor negotiations as strategic partnerships — rather than prolonged contests — consistently outperform peers in reliability, innovation adoption, and customer loyalty. The telecommunications sector, where infrastructure and human expertise are deeply intertwined, magnifies this effect.
   Resolving the contract sooner rather than later is not a concession. It is a leadership decision that aligns economic prudence with strategic vision. Stability now enables focus on growth, innovation, and market leadership rather than internal uncertainty.
   Strong companies build durable advantages not only through technology and capital, but through trust, alignment, and shared purpose. A timely agreement reinforces all three.
   Thank you for your leadership and consideration of the long-term interests of the company, its workforce, and the customers who depend on both.
   Respectfully,
