NY/NE have been done since before the strike began. All you union people from northeast can thank Mid Atlantic for you being out.

"Accept mediation. "
In this particular case, it pretty much equals accepting being unemployed within a year with nothing to show for it.
Sorry, buddy, I'll stay out.
Hey union trolls in mid-atlantic
The truth hurts.
You stupid leadership, is not going to get anything more.
VZ will hold on forever.
Accept mediation. The jobs are good, but declining.
You will not win.
Sorry, stupid thug trolls, you lose.
"This is exactly the problem. People without the individual union members' interests at heart, are making decisions on their behalf."
Hate to tell you, but that's exactly how representative democracy works, on all levels...
Union meeting months ago NE local announced major movement in negotiations. Since then no movement on the Mid Atlantic part.
NY and NE are irrelevant
"You are not the one deciding if it comes to a vote. We have people negotiating for us."
This is exactly the problem. People without the individual union members' interests at heart, are making decisions on their behalf.
I'm with you ak1.
You are not the one deciding if it comes to a vote. We have people negotiating for us.
I love how the union guys make fun of us for doing their sh--ty job.
I would be more converned with the 1000 contractors per week getting trained to take your job instead of the ones only putting up with it because off the 1000 per day pay or fear of being fired.
Let me save you the trouble... rif rif you're gonna get riffed.
Wait... How is this propaganda? Would you care to explain what the reasoning is that WE didn't vote, for the most recent offer, or what the contention with the buyouts are? I'm a dues paying member just like you. It's a fair question
Here we go. More propaganda to try to break our resolve
WE ARE GETTING TO THEM!
Honestly, I don't get why "the union leaders" are fighting so hard against the company offering buyouts. I get that "the union" doesn't want to lose membership and dues units, but there are thousands of employees who WANT the buyout. Are they negotiating for US????? In addition, why are WE not voting on the last offer... If it's as bad as they say it is, then let the MEMBERS say so...
If we (THE MEMBERS) say its a bad deal, then we'll vote that way. If we think its a good deal, then that'll be the outcome. Somewhere along the line, the leadership has forgotten that THE MEMBERS are the union!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Updates are updates from days ago
Regional Bargaining Report # 54
Saturday May 7, 2016
Following our meeting with Verizon on Monday, the CWA District 1/IBEW Local 2213 and IBEW New England Regional Committees met with the Company in off record discussions over call sharing, The union committee continued to meet throughout the week to discuss our next steps.
On May 5, CWA members and allies brought the Verizon strike to the company’s shareholder meeting in Albuquerque, NM. Dozens of strikers flew out from the East Coast and were met by their sisters and brothers in New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. Over 250 people protested outside the meeting. Inside, CWA activists spoke on shareholder resolutions and presented more than 300,000 petitions from customers to CEO Lowell McAdam.
Later, 15 union members and community supporters were arrested, after they draped a 70-foot banner reading "Verizon: Good Jobs, No Greed" across Rio Grande Blvd and then sat down under the banner to block traffic.
"As long as corporate executives put short-term profits ahead of the workers who make those profits possible and the communities they promised to serve, the calls for a change of course at Verizon will only grow stronger," said protester Bianca Cunningham before she was arrested alongside fourteen other protesters for civil disobedience. Cunningham is a former Verizon Wireless worker who was fired in September while helping her fellow employees form a union.
National Day of Action
CWA members, activists and allies held a National Day of Action to focus attention on Verizon's corporate greed. The 39,000 CWA and IBEW members remain on strike, pushing the company to stop offshoring jobs and to keep good jobs in our communities, so customers can get the quality service they deserve.
More than 400 protests were held nationwide, at Verizon Wireless stores and other locations in dozens of cities. In New York City, some 2,000 workers, supporters and elected leaders marched to a Verizon Wireless store on Wall Street.

Keep the picket lines at Wireless strong, and keep following the scabs. The company will get the message--they will not break us.
We will win.
Stay strong.
Solidarity forever!
"Please beg me to cross again, You guys are constantly begging us to cross , I wonder Why?"
Exactly, will NEVER cross! I will move on to a different job before I would even consider doing that, which I am setting up as we speak just in case. There is nothing these idiots can do or say that will make me betray my union brothers and sisters and go back to that hell hole.
What about the under 100 wireless workers? Are they throwing them under bus?
No credible explanation is going to come from the OP other than he's trying to stir or divide the Union. That's obvious. I heard all EWA's are Rif'd apon competition of the strike. This is there throw away work force.
OP, you should love Mid-Atlantic. I thought the work is so easy, the money is so nice. What's the real story? Remember we know what's really going on, don't try sell your stories here. Just continue walking up to houses with zero idea what you are doing. The biggest lie being told is, hello ma'am I'm here to repair your service.
Explain.
OP sorry, United We Stand. and your so wrong also with your post. Nice try though. Please beg me to cross again, You guys are constantly begging us to cross , I wonder Why?
The OP is Trying to stir the pot...don't buy it.
