Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

It's pretty bad when the union PR releases read like something that'd be found on The Onion.

So these people took a vacation overseas under the guise of "outing" an offshore call center that everyone already knew was there??

Must be nice to do something like that under the guise of "work" while the people you lead are getting rained on walking around in circles with no pay or health benefits.

Wow, just wow.

So 4 people travel to a foreign country and get arrested for trespassing on private property while still in their car somehow got inside the facility and analyzed the work being done at the facility? Yeah right. The Company outsourced some Cust Svc work as far back as the MCI days. This is no big discovery. Pathetic bargaining update.

That letter is just pure comedy! Should be pay per view!

I do not know who is the bigger idiot. Shelton, or whose who follow and believe this moron.

And btw, how can there be sooo many hardworking, ethical and dedicated company men and women posting on this board at 3 in the afternoon. Kind of like the kettle calling the pot black. Nothing in this world worse than a scab except a hypocrite!

So seriously, there truly isn't one comment here that's not a company troll. What this uncovers is the lies and deception that Verizon puts out. Also I am sure that some of this "offshoring" breaks the current labor contract. Stop trying to downplay what is a significant reveal. This just goes to show you what this company is willing to do to America in the name of the $.

Part of the reason the union has such low credibility is that every single one of these "press release" things are embellished and melodramatic. They sound like something a plaintiff lawyer would write if that lawyer was a fifth grader.

It's always the horrible mean company harassing these poor, innocent, pure-as-the-driven-snow union members. People see right through it, especially people that have worked with these union members before.

The union leadership are basically the same type of people who tell plantiffs to wear a fake neck brace after a car accident.

Sorry Shelton go have another drink none of ur business you got 400 mil start a telecom .......commie comunications

Breaking World news a major american company has a call center in the Phillipines

Lol

When u click trouble history on tablet i was getting alot of tijuana mexico

Cwa thats your next roadtrip

There taking away bilingual reps work

So this is our update for negotiations this week? What a joke. This will not put food on the table.

Union can't go to bargaining table but can go to Philippines b.s. want to go back to work ,if union really cares about outsourcing make a stand without keeping us on strike .This accomplishing nothing except hurting the workers .

Is this all the union can do? Don't get us a contract but fly all over the work uncovering crap on my dime? Time to kick him out.

Watch the interview with Low when he stopped by a picket line in NY, they called him out on the offshoring most of the centers and here was his response. We have a small portion of our dsl center over there. Picketers starting naming other centers that were over there and his response was, alot of things go on in this company behind his back. I call BS! They are looking very bad and untrustworthy. Apparently they think we are all stupid. Jokes now on them.

So the PI has gone from f---ing every military guy over there to f---ing the entire nation? Great job Lowell. I'm sure he's made some trips over there to check on the operations, catch a peso show, and play "smiles."

LOL breaking news

Somebody better fix something fast, I started collecting scrap metal to put food on the table.

This has been going on for years, really , the CWA just uncovered this? I am very scared for the membership, we are being lead by a pack of fools

Can u hear me know vz, cats out of the bag! Can't lie about this one. Customers saying bye bye at an alarming rate!

This is the effort going on to get a deal? Every large company in America has some customer service overseas. That isn't some revolutionary discovery. The way to change that is taxes and incentives at a national government level. A company strike won't fix it. Stupid.

So you're the last know? Uncover? LOL. You union guys aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, are you? You're a hoot!
