Just in time for a day off, Verizon (NYSE:VZ) wireline strikers may be headed back to work. Shares are headed back up, now +1.1%, as the U.S. Labor Secretary says the company and unions have a deal in principle on a new four-year contract.The workers will "be back on the job next week," says Labor Secretary Thomas Perez in announcing a deal that resolves the open issues in the dispute."Throughout the past 13 days of negotiations at the Department of Labor, I have observed firsthand the parties’ good faith commitment to narrowing differences and forging an agreement that helps workers and the company," Perez said in his statement.The two sides are reducing the agreement to writing, after which it will be submitted to CWA and IBEW members for ratification.
Eat a dick. You union cock gobbler... I can say without a doubt that EVERY time I work with a union tech from here on, you will be given no favors. You will be given no lee-way. You will not be supported in any capacity that will make your job easier. You are despised and will be for years to come. The way you guys handled this strike has hurt your relationship with everyone else. Fios? F--- Fios..
