It appears that Verizon management likes to avoid the N word. That's right NEGOTIATIONS. They do however like to use some N words like Neanderthal, Narcissist, and Non-profitable Neighborhood. All in a derogatory way. The union members are not extinct Europeans they are the ones that do the work that provide management with their paycheck every week. Their contract is also what management pay scales are based upon. The more the union makes the more management makes. They are not narcissist. They have families and are active in the communities. They spend the money they make in the local community and make jobs for others possible by shopping at local stores. I am sure that there are some employees who may live in the non profitable neighborhoods that management elects to bypass with fios or refuses to maintain plant. But according to Verizon's own diversity policy,which management enforces, these are all infractions and discriminative things that can include up to dismissal.
And yes I may have made grammatical errors and whatever else who cares. The fact is management is still employed Verizon and is still bound by the code of conduct and diversity.
The golden rule Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Show respect and you will get it in return. The same is true for union members. They are tired of working for yes men /women / whatever Jenner is now. While you were attending your families events and they were out of town for the sake of Verizon did anyone of you call and ask if there was anything you could do to help them out? Probably not because tension has been high for years between the 2 sides. Stop saying yes, yes, yes and start saying the N word. Negotiate Negotiate, negotiate instead of the other crap
