Verizon has miscalculated the depth of anger from both the workers they exploit and the citizens who understand that this another example of corporate assault on the American standard of living. People who cross that picket line to work for Verizon are scabs, worthy of nothing but contempt. Verizon executives and shareholders- greedy scum, looking to move jobs overseas to increase profit at the expense of US jobs. Those of you who do not work for Verizon and think this does not effect you, think again.

I have never been for unions until I married someone that works in a union job. He has been there for almost 30 years does his job, does it well & is proud of his job. His benefits are not taken for granted, he has worked for them and earned them. Before you criticize learn the facts. Verizon is not struggling. The CEO makes $18 million a year plus bonuses.

Why are you sooo concerned about what craft makes then?

That's funny. This isn't 1997 anymore. No such thing as temp to perm anymore. Read the prior post. That's the facts.

Why should I care what the top guys are making? If I am paid to do a job, then I do my job. If the company one day decides it no longer needs my services, then I take their payout and go my way. Since when does a company have an obligation to provide me a lifetime job? If that's what you want, then you need to be satisfied with everything else that comes with such a paternalistic situation. So yeah, they'll be monitoring your breaks and quantifying your output so they have something to use against you just in case. You don't like it? Then find a company where you don't expect them to be your mommy.

Lol. Those temp jobs have been posted for months now. That's how Vz does. They hire you temp, then fire you right before your eligible for benefits, usually the day before, then try to hire you back a month later for another temp position. That is what greedy looks like. No ethics in this biz at all.

the union members dont want what the company is offering ??? seriously? they want to close all the call centers and send the work to the philipines and get rid of their jobs . verizon made 18.6 million in a month. the top 5 executives at verizon make 4 times what a tech makes in one hour. isnt 14 million enough for a bonus ..when the first level managers hardly have a budget to buy tools for the techs. its called "GREED"

If I didn't already have a good job, I'd scab for Verizon in a heartbeat. Ridiculous how these union people feel they're too good for what Verizon has to offer. I guess they'll suffer the consequences. Too bad their families will learn an important lesson the hard way.

Dont think so.. once the company loses enough customers and saves the amount of money they want by not paying the 39000 employees salary and benefits ..then they and the union will agree on a contract and the real verizon employees will go back to work and the temps will be gone till the next contract. and it will take about 10 yrs for them to retire out all the union employees

@xoj - wrong answer! The permenants will become H1B Indians and the temps will stay temps. The Union is toast.

Only people living happily ever after in VZ Land are the execs and their golden parachutes. Everyone else is fuked...

Yep, and the *** house called Verizon won't need any union employees. The Temps will become Permanents and everyone will live happily ever-after except for the union people who have no jobs or healthcare coverage and lose their houses.

OH THE HUMANITY.
