Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I smell a sellout

No one has seen the terms but we are talking about returning June 1. If we go back to work we will be essentially forced to agree to it since we aren't going to want to strike again. We need to stay out until we see the full terms, not just talking points and have time to think about it and vote with our gut, not because our hands are forced.

All of the union people say how rotten Verizon is yet you fight to come back right away. Can anybody tell me why you do this?

No pension cap at 30 years

3% pension increase

10.5% pay increase (5.5% total in 2 months)

8 offices slated for closing will not close

no additional outsourcing

they aren't getting involuntarily transfers

benefits responsibility increases, but we knew that.

Remember if we vote no and walk back out, it's another 7 weeks for unemployment. Better make sure this is the right choice.

I'd prefer to stay out myself until I get to see the contract. Very doubtful that such an option will exist, though...

Who cares about working - or not - on a Memorial Day after 7 weeks of strike anyway? If one is interested in OT there will be more of that than we want once we return given the disaster that the entire plant must be after 7 weeks of "highly trained replacements" doing our work...
