Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

"There is NO scenario under which the company does not staff the call centers or roll the vans"

Yes, and IMO the company wants the scenario thats playing out right now. They will get their flexible workforce without having to bargain for it. The union is giving the company exactly what it wants! Instead of taking another decade to reduce the union to nothing, theyll do it in a few months it seems. All the while....the "government" is monitoing the whole thing, which in turn legitimizes it.

Hlj...same here. Im planning BAU, or close to it, by the end of June. Its a pity things have gotten to this point, but the end result appears inevitable.

in my EWA... people are called back to BAU every day.... there's been a steady deployment of vendors/contractors. tick-tock union... tick tock.

Yes, the truth can sometimes be scary.

But, the calls are being answered right now and I just saw vans on the road. So take comfort that at least the company will find a way forward.

Good luck with your job search.

Scare tactic all you like the Union will be back in their jobs. See you later RIF boy.

From the replacements i've met, they seem to enjoy the pay for the reasonable amount of time they have to work.

Only drawback i've heard was that they had to wear ear plugs when these union whales blow their blowholes.
