I have the contract details .... They agreed to all clauses that you guys put on table. But they are laughing their assoff coz ... Wireline is up for sale as Clearance sale... They all know wireline won't make it to 2017 let alone 4 years. Wireline has vey high operating margins due to all the union crap and pensions and free healthcare. Wireless operates at 55% and wireline only 18%. Word of advice. Go to school and get education on TAP assistance and learn a new skill. The writing is on the wall. Let me remind of you since your memory is very short term. You all have retrograde amnesia from that $&@$ you guys smoke. Remember fairpoint, frontier and century link ? ILECs won't exist after 5G comes out. Get off your fat pork infested assand use your brain before its smaller than the size of a squirrel !!!
Former CWA member (they let me get laid off) but if you are mad at the Union, don't leave..... Just change the leadership !!!!!. You know without the Union your pay and benefits would not exist. Trust me, i have worked for non union companies.....
CWA accommodated Verizon by not striking until they closed the wireline sale of California,Texas and Florida. Now they agreed to mediation as suggested by that piece of sh--,liberal, fudge packing cum drinking Perez so to prevent unemployment benefits and to help the jobless numbers for that cocksucking douchebag in the White House. And you guys don't think this contract is a dick in the ass You are all probably going to vote for the lying, murdering, cunt Killary!!!!! You deserve what you get!
Is there a transcript of this call tonight or audio retread?
Heard fm IBEW deep insider. Very bad deal. CWA torpedoed to stop unemployment checks after hearing fm Obama+Cuomo. Face it, did Obama do anything to stop Wall Street?
Hey 1som asswipe. Dennis got a text because he was late showing up to help Chris change his adult diaper. It was his turn and Ed wasn't going to cover for him anymore.
"Socialism is socialism, the state controls the property and the means."
Huh. No. This wasn't even the case in the USSR. Don't know about China from Mao's era or North Korea. People did own stuff...anything from cars to houses to small businesses. Freedom of thought, expression, movement...well, that was a whole different ball game.
"Democratic Socialism, lmfao."
I wouldn't be laughing. Various forms of "democratic socialism" are alive and well in Europe, including countries that maintain a higher standard of living than our own...
Back to the subject matter at hand: I'm not happy that we're going back in blind, and even less happy about the fact that there's next to nothing that can be done about it...

Details details- who needs stinkin DETAILS!!
Okay. Denny G. is done. He swallowed. Shelton sent him a text message while he was on-knob but Denny stayed engaged with what he does best.
"You stupid f#ck. I've told you before that this is bernie style democratic socialism, not communist based socialism. You are so f#cking stupid. Don't you know anything about wored politics? You have the brain power of an infant."
LMAO What a dolt you are. Socialism is socialism, the state controls the property and the means. Wake up moron. You think Bernie can actually admit to the masses what he really wants to do? You're a tool @rmp. Democratic Socialism, lmfao.

What happened to all that Union gloating from just 2 days ago? You guys seem a lot less happy today.
The CWA is all about keeping Shelton and Mooney and Trainor in the tall grass and big houses. There are NO BIG GAINS. It is ALL smoke and mirrors and now we're being economically strongarmed to return to work with absolutely no information except Shelton's bullshit spin. This is a total setup and the only people who benefit is the Union leadership. This is an unmitigated debacle.
There is no RTW grace period because Shelton doesn't want you to have a choice but to accept the crap contract the CWA has negotiated. Every step of the way the plan to give us no choice but to sign another terrible contract. This is a scandal.
We lose all our leverage if we go back to work without the details of the contract.
CWA has LONG HISTORY of being dishonest with workers. Here we go again.
Don't fall for the lies. This is a total screwing of all our hard work. If the deal was great they would have told us all the details already. Shelton is working for Verizon, not for us. Don't go back. Don't sacrifice your unemployment benefits. Our CWA has gone corrupt from head to toe.
It's 2011 all over again....sadly
Sounds like a line crossing scab is afraid of his coworkers returning.
Is Lowell a troll on the weekends? I can see this pure bullshot coming from his lying trap.
Go get a life troll
Using Memorial Day to sabotage the strike was part of Shelton's scam to screw us out of our unemployment benefits. Don't go back without a contract. Do go back without the details.
Why? Why? Why are you a troll?
No Contract, No Work, No Return to Work until we have all the details!
Shelton screwed us over last time. Not again.
CWA leaders have completely botched this strike. From beginning to end it has been botched.
Why? Why? Why can't they tell us the tentative details of the contract? What the hell are you hiding from us Shelton?
We must stop Shelton and Mooney and Trainor for collaborating with Verizon and Obama. We're about to get screwed out of our unemployment and then forced to have a bad contract shoved down our throats. It is 2011 all over again.
Stop the dog and pony show Shelton. No details, No contract, No return to work!!!!!
Paying more for medical is a no win situation and not remotely a big gain.
C'mon Shelton brown nosers. How is this a win for us?
They don't want us to know the details because they know it is so bad we'd stay out on the line. This is all about the unemployment reset which is against our interests.
zop - what is this us you're talking about. You're a troll. Get off this site.
Beat it ASSHAT MAN ......LOL YOUR A HUMAN STAIN.INSTEAD THAT'S NOT ALLOWED.TELL MOMMY WE ALL SAID HI.
Do not step into the buiding without the details. Do not jeopardize your unemployment.
What is the good of having the CWA if they keep us completely in the dark about the proposed contract? Where are the big gains? Going back before we know the details is signing your unemployment rights away. They don't want us to know what is in the contract. This is a scam.
The Internet troll is back. Did you get tired of the kiddie porn site?
@have
You stupid f#ck. I've told you before that this is bernie style democratic socialism, not communist based socialism. You are so f#cking stupid. Don't you know anything about wored politics? You have the brain power of an infant.
While WSW is out there on some levels, they are right that we have to take this slow. Go back as instructed unless the town hall phone in tomorrow is not to your liking. If that's the case, we all will stay out.
No Contract! No Work!
What does Verizon know? They haven't actually released the EWAs to make travel plans home. This is a disaster having us go back before we see the proposed contract.
Just like Obamacare getting passed in the dark of the night. We're getting screwed.
Commie call in progress. This is our business, not theirs. Take their commie crap to China or Russia.
