Mediation would cut through all the nonsense and banter to ensure that only reasonable requests are considered. Anything unreasonable for both sides would be discarded. This would get people back to work so more customers aren't lost You know, the people that ultimately pay the salaries so there are jobs for anyone.

you had your chance at mediation, but chose to see yourselves on camera. Now you are going to be locked out and you are f---ed. Good luck because the real world is unkind
@vvd, house, cars, kids college......all paid for. Get your @ss back to work scab. I'm enjoying watching all of you worthless pieces of $hit make fools of yourselves.
The UNION will lead you to no job at all. They will than move on to the airlines or something. Grow up now at least for your familes before you lose your house.
Yes Im management but still care for people
@HaMeVj8-fui Might be. But I think the earliest will be next Monday.

Simple question are the union and verizon back at the table today Saturday
The Mediator helps the parties find middle ground, and deal with unrealistic expectations. The Middle ground is a win for Verizon, and a loss for the Unions. When you go into Mediation like Verizon wants to, asking for the loss of jobs...and the Union see's no need for the loss of any jobs, The mediator will find a number for the loss for jobs. Hence Company wins, Union Loses. Again there is No need for any of the proposals the company wants, it's just pure need, which is pure greed. A mediator will just give the company half of it unnecessary greed.
At this point all common sense has left Union headquarters. That is why they do not want mediation, they know their demands are out of line with today's realities and that a mediator will not give them all they want. They have even came out and said so.
Who cares how much Verizon Corp, and Lowell for that matter, has made, how much has wireline made? That is what the Union should be using for their basis of their arguments, but they know they wouldn't get anywheres near what they want should they do that. Their demands are all about them, not the company and definately not for the Union members.
Union rejected mediation already. This is over. Replacements start Monday. Move on down to the welfare line suckers.
If you consider having to pay a little for health care losing your assI hate to see you when real problems arise. Talking about last contract. I am part of the union as well.
Verizon asked for Mediation, Union rejected. Verizon gave the best final offer, Union rejected. Now you guys want to do Meditation again?! I don't think it is possible.
I don't think we have much of a choice now....
No you jerkoff, we would lose our @ss again in mediation. F-OFF!
