Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Far from perfect

Unions arent perfect. but one thing is for sure. they set the bar for non union labor..Non union companies have to stay competitive to attract workers and its the unions that give nonunion labor a good starting point for their wages and benefits..

It is amazing to me how little union employees know about their union and pensions.

One douche mentioned that the company runs their pension and called me a dumb f__k.

The company contributes to you trust/pension only. There is a trustee or board of trustees that manage it on the union side. If you look at your paperwork or online at the plan or even any contact in any pamphlet regarding your pension, you will see a union rep listed not an employee from the company.

Don't be a sheep, don't let the union plunder your pension - have it audited before they use it to pay for more Bernie Sander appearances - cause you know he and Hillary want to get paid.

Dont kid yourself.

  • Are the Unions taking care of me and my family while I am at home? Nope.

  • Unions are supposed to be about solidarity, but why is it that only the Senior people matter. The Senior looks down on the Junior employee and couldn't give a crap about him. It only matters if the Senior gets his free stuff. Even if the Junior is far more intelligent than his Senior, he cannot move ahead of him.

  • Why need Unions when we have OSHA?

  • Unions create hate toward everyone. Take a long slow look at how you get your people to act. There are some psychological issues there.

  • Unions make costs of everyday goods go up. The raising costs of dues and outrageous demands from corrupt union management force companies to raise costs, which are reflected on the consumer.

Next time you go tho the store and you say to yourself "Wow, the cost of these just keep going up" - Well, you can thank a union for that.

  • Unions create sheep. Don't believe everything you hear from any union rep. Take time to research it yourself.

  • Always news about Pensions being plundered - why is that?

  • Why is your union management getting 6 figure salaries and bonuses, while you are not. After all you're paying him. In the corporate world its the product that pays the management.

Like anything

Unions have good point, and not so good points.

Ask yourself again - HOW DOES MY UNION MANAGEMENT GET PAID - where does the money come from? Since you are sitting at home and not working and suffering, take the time to check into it...... Its probably something you never thought about or never knew. Dont be a sheep, get on the computer and start typing for answers.

The only union employees getting paid at this time are the Union management. They are kicking back at their desk jobs organizing disruptions and corruption, while the union grunt who normally does the real work is sitting at home living paycheck to paycheck or having a hard time for some reason or another. Union management is making millions and more in bonuses, where do you think the money comes from? Yes, union dues - the money that is supposed to be going for your hard earned retirement is paying for Union management to live in luxury. I wonder If enough money is really there for the retirements - or is it being taken from the pensions. Union employees should demand an audit. Does it make sense for future union employees to pay for retirements now. No - its a Ponzi scheme!

Do you even think that Bernie Sanders came out to rally our of the kindness of his heart and for Solidarity? No - he was paid out of pension savings. Demand an audit now!
