and they are pouring across the line... Nice to see some who want to work and think for themselves. Make sure you resign before you cross so you can't get fined.

I am telling now that there have been 400 members that have crossed. A few due to retirement in a few days. Others due to pay and not having confidence in the union.
@wxm Sure just like the last strike in 2011. Benefits were to expire and all of a sudden the Union settles. Guess you don't remember that. Good luck thinking the Union will cover your benefits. Stay healthy!
Man these company trolls are really scared and they should be. They picked the wrong time for a fight.
@GTsKwtS-xzm the union already has that covered, but since you are so ill informed you would not know that.
They'll all be crossing May 1st when none of them have their benefits anymore. Stay healthy you all!
No one crossed I checked they are full of u know what
Had 57 out of 80 cross in NOVA, and we welcomed their help. The rest of them will be in after a few R&R days.
HAHAHAHA That sounds more like the Union Workers storming the Verizon Bastille than 'crossing'. If that were to happen, that would be fun to watch, with Marni and Shamoo shouting: "let them eat cake!"
I think more like 14,000 crossed today, that sounds better. After a couple days we will all cross, how bout that.
This dude really is a troll. Anyone who posts untruths like that just to get a rise out of people, regardless if you are a retiree or not makes you a troll. I guess the truth hurts. It must suck being a troll.
So I am a troll if I am not a current employee? You must feel threatened. LMAO
So @GTsKwtS-bxj is just a TROLL looking to foment more ill will between the unions and managers.
@eij -- Outed?? Maybe you have trouble reading. No where in my post did I claim to have an EWA or even be an employee of Verizon.
"400 crossed the line today and more expected tomorrow?"
That would have been a major PR headline for the company, but it is nowhere to be found. But we all know that posting lies like that in an environment like this will only make what was experienced outside today tame compared to tomorrow. So OP, since you are posting here it is clear that you have no EWA, because if you did, you would be to busy to post. You;ve been not only busted, but you are making life tougher for the managers who are acually out in the field doing this. Pat yourself on the back for being such douche bag.
I would love that 400 number to be true.
400 crossed the line today and more expected tomorrow.
This is all Marc Reed initiated bullshit.
I know of three in NJ and heard rumors of few more.
Nobody crossed at my location. Noticed one of the managers did not show, though. I also took note that this year seems different than last time in terms of public support. Normally, the passers-by were either indifferent or closely proportionate in the number of thumbs up vs middle fingers. This time I counted one middle finger in 8 hrs as opposed to the 100s of waves and thumbs up.
And what areas (states, garage locations) have they crossed??
shoot i aint crossing. this is the best time to walk! the fish are biting, boys! i pulled in a half dozen nice ones this morning and i'll be back tomorrow! no deal until the fish stop
What State are you @seq?
40% crossed here today. No picket line. 12% on scheduled vacation. The ones that stayed out are the ones that only do the minimum work anyway. So far they are not even missed.
don't believe vz spin
I meant can't* for strike last longer than two weeks
Is this true about all these crossing already?
Strike can last longer than two weeks then, no?
I agree give it a least three months. Back to splicing so nice to have an easy stress free day and make overtime.
What a joke of a UNION. They actually knock the company for not being ready when already 54 of thir own crossed. This is not no fun ,by weeks end they all will be back and I wont make any money. STAY OUT UNION SCUM .
3 people where i am assigned crossed already. Shop steward contacting some members to try and convince them to picket. Pretty pathetic
