Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

No need to pay union strikers any buyout. They won't get any offers. Union workers who don't report to work..... they don't get paid..jobs. That's why Verizon didn't negotiate any longer... until the government made them. They want the worthless overpaid union staff gone as soon as possible.

Wow! If that is what your marriage is like GET OUT NOW!

Union whales and their simp assways.

Tell me, Op, how much fun did you have letting your whale leadership knock up your wife and raising "their/yours" imbred, retarded kids while paying them to do so.

Bend over, f---ing union whales.

This is more like a marriage in a country where divorce is not legally allowed. Verizon has long wanted a divorce and has been actively trying to get out the marriage for quite some time, but the Labor Department is forcing them to undergo marriage counseling as a last resort. There are always exceptions, but it doesn't usually work in the long run.

Maybe the Secretary of Labor can force Verizon to swallow hard and the unions to bend over and the two sides will be stuck in this unhappy marriage for 3 more years. But, the writing is on the wall. This marriage is going to end sooner or later.

In this case a divorce is needed.

Break the union, like a twig.

SNAP, SNAP SNAP.

Ewas have Stokholm Syndrome. Look it up.

The company / union relationship is like a very bad marriage where on the one hand you've got the union members who do the very least they can do to get the maximum return, just keeping the other side barely satisfied enough to not look elsewhere. And on the other side you have the company doing all it can to make life difficult for the other side because of the feeling the union doesn't quite deserve what they are getting. I know a lot of marriages like that. Come to think of it, I'd bet many of the marriages of the union folks are exactly like that.

It's cheaper to get rid of the union. That's why Verizon wants to offer 60k buyouts.

my vows said "till death do us part".... we both know where the shotgun is kept.

OP, marriages are not meant to be that way. Maybe union marriages are like that, but normal people have love and respect in their marriages with each trying to do all they can to make the other happy.

And the EWA people are like battered wives. Lowell beats them, humiliates them, abuses them ..... and they just go back for more. No wonder they all wear those fashion jeans with the knees blown out.
