Use to work at a Verizon wireless store. Back then Verizon and VZW were still two different companies (VZW was Cellco Partnership DBA as Verizon wireless owned 60% by Vodafone (maybe 2013)).
Anyways going to store as a sales rep to sell cell phones but the wireline protesters were outside our stores because there's only one Verizon in the area and dozens of VZW stores. Worse off is VZW employees were forbidden from unionizing.
If it was illegal, why did Wireless move Orangeburg to Wilmington? Why was Morristown moved to Charleston?
"Both statements are illegal according to current US Labor Law."
But companies like Verizon and GE and FB and Google and AOL.... are all ABOVE the law, because the own the lawmakers.
Customer facing, 90% of the time, its not easy indeed. Wanna see a wireline toughboy try to calm down a screaming bitch flipping over poor reception in her yoga place
@mwp...it is tough. I worked as a sales rep in a store for 3 years before getting a promotion out of the store. You couldn't pay me enough to do that job again. Just don't knock the ones who do I'd you've never done it yourself.
Wireless has made it understood that if a store tries to go Union, the store will go Indirect. If a call center tries to go Union, it will be relocated to a RTW state or moved offshore.

I'm sure it's really tough. Do you see mall employees bitching?
Don't like how you're being treated learn more skills and/or education and get a better job.
@fsn...LOL...you must never have worked in a Wireless store.
A retail employee being part of a union and fighting for higher wages and benefits for a job a 12 year old could do blindfolded.
You must be outside Boston or in Brooklyn. Wireless has made it understood that if a store tries to go Union, the store will go Indirect. If a call center tries to go Union, it will be relocated to a RTW state or moved offshore.
not true I work in a vzw store and am uniozed and am on strike right know.
