Listen this new CEO was brought in to cut management, cut costs and raise stock prices .This is no coincidence he was brought in right as the merge with frontier which has contracts and the largest current contract up in August that they could not agree on an extension.So for the union people too this is no blessing !!!I believe the board saw Hans as too sympathetic to the Unions as Europe is .So I would now confidently say get ready for a long protracted Strike .The unions are too behind eight ball CWA IBEW to realize this was another strategic move by the VERIZON BOARD.McAdams 2.0 coming in .Any associate not starting to realize where this is headed in next few months and stop suk in the management in the fios back room deserves what’s next but is out weakest link open your eyes leadership/membership

Union only cares about “what’s for lunch?” and golf outings!
One day all you union loving simps will realize that your precious union only cares about your money. They'll negotiate what's best for them, not you.
@b2
What we have today is NOT what we signed up for 30 years ago... CWA .. GAVE UP what we had and got NOTHING in return
The membership should dump CWA and go with the Teamsters... CWA sold out it's membership and sacrificed them all at the feet of thev Socialist working families party that only represents public sector interests... WFP DOES NOT represent the interests of the private sector working man..
Typical. Union guy thinks that CEO move was made because of a tiny portion of the workforce.
@a2 Where did you hear this?
@e7
So they can present facts and opinions without fear of repercussions
That's kinda the point of a site like this.
Are YOU looking to punish someone who disagreed with you or exposed facts you don't like?!?!
Why are all of these posts by ANONYMOUS smh
The new CEO was brought in to rescue what can be rescued after Hans and Sampath, the Consultant, did their damage to the brand, culture, and infrastructure. The new CEO understands the US consumer, which is a nice change!
Hey @ad+1k6zcdwd3 dim witty we are not government employees so no he will not .And honestly I could care less what trump says he may have been a gable first term this time he is just a liability to our country and democratic.I fear he is trying to create a dictatorship with things like the military control
Really? Because it still seems like a pretty good job to me. You know what you signed up for when you were hired.
The union job is over its a poor man job with no security
Its about protecting what the 50 yr olds and over already have. Their free retiree healthcare was taken away during Obama
@a3 yeh because Hans saved you. He’s gone now….
CWA STRIKE -,TRUMP WILL PATCO YOUR A-S. Google PATCO FAA STRIKE…
@a2 If he says it enough times he believes that someone may actually believe the fantasy
When someone starts a diatribe with “Listen”, I’m out..
Dinosaur legacy union brow beating where it is essentially says, “You there don’t even think about thinking… You there are just an extension of my arm”.
By allowing for 2 classes of employees (Pensions vs no Pensions) the sealed their own fate.
Work From Home has POTENTIALLY set up the permanent switch to Banglahore when the clock strike midnight Aug 6th.
The criminality is whomever negotiated that (and benefited) during past negotiations.
They played right into the company hands for personal gain.
They’ve become nothing more than an agent for the company but still ask the membership to carry Mao’s little red book. 📕.
They can go pi-s up a rope..
@a5 you expect too much of people. Math? Who needs that?
Ya I wouldn’t say anyone was offering a 40% raise or any huge concessions to union ,but one thing is for sure 👍 with Hans there was more peace least no strike since!!But I have no doubt this guy was not brought in to hand over the keys to the kingdom.Our weakest link is our being meek moral .No one in union membership or leadership specially the young guys has any nerve to do what needs to be done as it always was in past .There is way too much self righteous and si--y pants specially in fios groups.we might as well all put on dresses and hold hands singing hail the Verizon gods for their free breakfasts and promo shirts
@a2 40% raise over 5 years is about the same as the 28% over 3 that they got in the last one.
I remember when Lowell McAdam was brought in that he was going to break the union.
Yet I'm still here
I heard he was offering a 40% raise. I’ve heard it at least 10 times. All from the same guy.
