They will all will get riffed later anyway.

Typical union person mentality. Keep paying your union dues so the head honchos can keep staying in high class hotels and eating expensive meals on your dime. Loser!
msu/min, boy are you a phucking loser. Retired? Maybe you should go visit Dr. Kevorkian.
Saw one of your coworkers the other day sitting in his truck on the side of the road for about 90 minutes with is head resting against the headrest.
He was counting what's in his pension. But you knew that. Hows yours? lol.
Now we have customers to serve. so get back to f*ucking work you clown.

Can't be doing your day's work if you have time to write on this blog. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands. Saw one of your coworkers the other day sitting in his truck on the side of the road for about 90 minutes with is head resting against the headrest. Maybe that was you putting in your full day's work.
MSU retired to mommy and daddy's basement when he got fired for not being able to do the job.

Wow, retired guy get a hobby.
Does not sound like a strike is being called any time soon given ibew 827 updates on bargaining. Bargaining Update 4.1.16
Fri, 04/01/2016 - 3:04pm
Bargaining Report
The Regional Bargaining Committee has met with the company, on and off table, discussing proposals on RAMP, Municipal and State Leave laws, Independent Medical Examinations, ACCLS committee, Health Care Benefit Coordinators, ISP waivers, Call Sharing, Dental, and the Medical Restriction-Leave of Absence policy. The company continues to attack Tuition Assistance, even after changes made in 2012 realized substantial savings to the company.
Medical benefits and the company’s desire to increase employee contributions have been evaluated by the committee in depth. We continue to evaluate data on medical benefits in our efforts to formulate a responsible proposal.
Last week the committee rejected company proposals on Forced Transfers, Temporary Assignments to another State, and Permanent Transfer involving home relocation. We requested members share information regarding how the closing of centers and relocation will affect them, personally and financially. We thank these members for sharing this info with the Bargaining Committee.
Issues on the bargaining table are not just dollars and cents. These contractual provisions reach into the very heart of our lives and are not lost in these negotiations. We are miles ahead of where we were in June, but we are still woefully short of an agreement we could bring back to you. Your continued support of the Bargaining Team through informational pickets at the workplace and by retirees picketing Verizon Wireless locations is appreciated and effective. Please keep up the good work. If you aren’t participating, you need to. This is Everyone’s fight!
Your Bargaining Committee reminds you……..Work Safe-Be Strong- Stay United!
xmf Sorry to disappoint but I'm retired. None of this means anything to me. Get a kick out of all you idiots. Must not have too much work to do if you can constantly post things on this board. Does your supervisor know what you do all day? See ya!
tnm, good catch. But I did spell SCAB correctly. Enjoy your EWA and RIF ... oh and the reduced severance when you're done. Bon Voyage!
rnv did you mean advice. Maybe you can take a writing class while your striking.
I believe the dogs are used for scab detection. They will be made available to the scabs for advise when they don't know how to proceed with the job.
Local management actually use dogs for GPS and advise.
If dogs can do tech jobs better start recruiting, you'll need to find a way to get something done.
Bye Felicia!
Scabs, be sure to double and triple check your pay stubs. You will be shorted money from your check on a regular basis. Don't let VZ double screw you.
xtw - Maybe that will cut down on the overtime. Your dog probably can do the job better.
Man I didn't know we could do that. Nice, my dog can go in crawl spaces, attics, and maybe be my supervisor.
If it sounds so easy and pays good apply for it otherwise we don't need your sarcasm kid your not qualified to comment jealousy and envy will get you nowhere it makes you sound very small and inadequate.
April Fools fool
Driving down the road the other day in MD and a Verizon truck pulls up next to me. Look over and what do I see. A dog sitting in the passenger seat. You guys need to bring your "service dogs" to work with you now. Job must be getting to you all.

Sounds like you're an idiot, never did the job I guess?
Sounds like your describing the job you get paid to do, if you don't like it I'm sure there are other jobs that will pay you what you get now.
