"In the meantime, Verizon was approached by the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS). FMCS asked if the Company would be willing to mediate if the unions extend the strike deadline. The company informed the FMCS that it's willing to participate as part of Verizon's continuing efforts to reach new contracts. At this time, however, Verizon has not heard if union leaders are willing to submit to mediation and extend the deadline for a strike."

Bad enough the Execs work you over, but you guys actually pay your Union Leadership to screw you also, get back to work!

Union is neutered. LMAO....

Striking is bad for both sides....If we get a fair contract all is good....plus if we go out we might not come back

Chris shelton is a loud mouth pu $$y.

BS - this is just a mask for the company to brag to the feds: see we totally screwed over all of the non union employees and they are still working. A friend who was part of the 12/31 layoff told me that his retiree health care benefit is more than $20,000 per year. Some benefit. Now they want to do it to the unions, but the unions can actually facture the execs on this one.

I knew the union would not walk. That is why they gave notice,they hoped for this. Bunch of PUSSYS.

So no strike or when will they let us know?

the union .... all sizzle no steak

Wonder what the Ma bell test sucklings will have to say about that?

I F---ing knew it, union has no leg after this. So sick of both sides
