Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Buffalo EWA - Had the opportunity to work the CO this go-around!

I know we did the best that we could on ins, outs, and trouble. Those of us that sit behind a desk have a better understanding of what it takes to provide the best network in the US. We all know who do these jobs the best and that's our experienced union professionals and I for one am glad they have a contract and will be taking care of our customers like they should be. I also trust they (the union team) understand that us EWAs were doing what we needed to do to keep the network up, running and providing the best service we could provide. This isn't about wireless vs wire line, EWA vs union, we all know you can't have one without the other. It's about doing our very best everyday for our customers who provide this company with the revenue that gives us the ability to live our lives and provide for our families.

This was a cool experience and always gives me an appreciation for what the union folks go through day after day. I had the pleasure of meeting some really cool people, both EWAs and picketers alike,,,,thanks to all of you and best wishes going forward.

This union wife appreciates the post. Was never the EWA that we were upset with. You stated things perfectly 😊

Thanks for a well thought out and intelligent post. I have harassed my Boss whenever I have seen him, but I hope he knows that I understand his position, just like he understands ours. The out of town folks from VZ Wireless I didn't like and am glad to see go away.

They will need to grunt and beat their chests a little, and do a little strut. But after that, I think they are as happy about it being over as we are. It's going to take some to ever start rebuilding trust, but hopefully we will get there together someday.

Class act ! Nice job OP. Sentiments are shared by many EWA's. Sorry it's likely not reciprocated by our union friends.
