Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

So, union wants contractual right to 1) a job, 2) forever, 3) at pay/benefits and workforce numbers they alone deem reasonable;

and 4) only at job performance standards that they alone deem reasonable, and 5) only with a degree of job performance monitoring/enforcement that they alone deem reasonable; and 6) only at whatever largely fixed union workforce numbers they alone deem reasonable; and 7) with the simultaneous right to publically refer to their employer as greedy, evil, and a scumbag; and 8) if employer does not agree to what union alone deems reasonable, union can strike unitl employer does agree to what union alone deems reasonable.

Do I have all of that largely right? Or am I way off?

"Verizon is not going to cave on this."

Then they are not worth working for anymore, plain and simple.

"And the offer on the table would be taken by many in a heartbeat!"

Only that those who would take it wouldn't be offered anything close to what's on the table. And which will get more reasonable as the time goes on, and the bad weather kicks in...

Verizon is looking to crush the unions because they can. CWA is only out for itself, and has it's eyes on the prize of VWZ. Verizon is never going to let that happen. CWA and IBEW members wake up and smell the coffee. You are being taken by both ends against the middle. Go back to work or you will be slinging hamburgers on the late shift at McDonalds. Verizon is not going to cave on this. And the offer on the table would be taken by many in a heartbeat!

Google, and SAP both provide similar or better benefits to their valued workforces to name 2. Also they dont pit their managers and staff against one another. SAP has unlimited sick time for all employees and if you are at all under the weather metal or physical you are paid to stay home. It is the #1 best employer in the united statea and on average employees miss 2 days of work a year. Why they are valued and enjoy being at work

That's why Union is heavy in NE and the entire NE is entirely blue. Got it.

Guns and Republicans are down South.

Most of the union shops I've been in are gun owning Republicans.

Spot on. Seeing that union is 99% entitled Liberals, I find it hilariously ironic that their own jobs are being redistributed.

Had it for the last 30,will continue, it's called the power of organized labor. Live it, learn it, love it. Jealousy will not get it for you, sacrifices will.
