Why the thumbs down?
How many union employees were let go last Nov?
0
Let that sink in.
Lol..people on here saying they don't need unions ...this site wouldn't exist if everyone here was in a union.
Verizon wireless leadership has always been scared to death of the wireless employees unionizing. It adds a layer of complexity to their restructuring efforts. When I was with the company, there were tons of efforts to keep CWA out of wireless for this exact reason. Now to be clear, I am not a fan of unions in telecom as I dont generally think they are needed, but seeing how VZ has put their employees through the ringer these last few years, I know that this would hit them where it hurts. Maybe that alone would make it worth considering. I dont buy in to the union "protecting" you..its a business just like any other, but I would think it would make VZW's job much harder when it comes to layoffs and restructures.
Nah. Unions are corrupt and I don't care to pay dues to a union who also won't do sh-t for you in case your job is in jeopardy
@gc tell that to the thousands of mobile employees who were Rifd and their calls sent overseas, we did a better job than the vendors do, it happened because we had no protection. You know whose call can’t easily get sent over? The union employees. You must be another ignorant manager
Do a good job and don’t worry about your so-called Protection.
I disagree. Much of the union leadership, including at CWA Local 9588, is MAGA. They literally vote against unions and workers' rights, yet they’re supposed to represent union members and defend those rights. It's a joke.
Wireless should have joined years ago when things started changing for the worst. You could see it coming and was talked about. There was interest but too many "yes" people around and wireless jobs were pretty darn good at that time still but they needed to look further in future. People failed to do that though now look at it.
If you’ve never been a member of IBEW or CWA you are basing your apprehension on management fear tactics, they win. As corrupt as some union officials are, you will still be better off than you are today, 100% unprotected
@a7 So don't join and go set the world on fire without the union protection, Sparky.
Yes.. join the CWA and throw your &$ away. From allowing lay-offs to surrendering pensions for younger workers. That is how the CWA protects.
