Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

One month in and the union is firing their biggest bullet, yard signs. I'm embarrassed to be affiliated with this joke of a union.

I have to ask the questions, were these signs printed at a union print shop, how much did they cost, and wouldn't this money been better spent on buying food or contributing to insurance plans for the union brothers and sisters?.

I could place these yard signs in about 30 locations, in a area that is all about Bernie, but it ain't happening. Not even putting one in my personal yard. Idiots!

I bet they will be non union made. I find it funny when a union guy saying he wants to keep jobs here drives a Kia. shops at Walmart and amazon . and gets mad at scabs that because they are supporting their family's.

" Guys are crying that the 400.00 relief fund and 425.00 unemployment isn't enough."

You can't fix stupid...

An old splicer who trained me many years ago when I first started offered the following words of wisdom on our first day together: "Son, whatever you do, never - but NEVER - allow yourself to live on overtime. Bank that money. Savings. Kids' college fund. Whatever. Just don't live off of it."

I've never forgotten his advice and it has worked wonders for me over the course of years.

Yard signs, why pay an idiot to shamble around in a circle when you can plant a sign?

I'd suggest they use wood stakes, not metal. Picketers can then burn them for warmth this fall.

For months I have been hearing my fellow union members requesting a strike. Most of them never having to endure a long strike like the one I had the pleasure of enduring without a strike fund in 1989. Unemployment was less than 200.00 a week. Guys are crying that the 400.00 relief fund and 425.00 unemployment isn't enough. These same guys were all piss and vinegar a few months ago calling for an immediate walk out.

You can't lay claim to a 1989 strike equivalent until the relief fund is depleted and unemployment is all you have for at least 11 weeks. That's what I went through in 1989 for 17 weeks. So for some of you I say, buckle up cup cakes, you got your wish.

Not yard signs!!! If I have to drive by yard signs on my way to and from work I think I'll finally break! Nobody should have to put up with that kind of torture!
