"After telling striking workers for weeks that it would not accede to Verizon’s demands for a federal mediator, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) agreed to mediation yesterday during talks in Washington, DC overseen by the Obama administration."

CWA up against the wall. This is a war they cannot win so they'd rather suck it up now and buy a few years than lose all their Vz membership when they broke in 3-6 months.
@nlo - I thought the same thing when I read "scab".
Please oh Please sell us to Frontier, they actually value their front line employees.
Interesting article and WSWS was equally scathing about the CWA and VZ. I did lose respect for WSWS however when they used the word 'scab'. A respectful publication would not have use the word in the context they did.
So even the other socialists think the CWA is corrupt?
I believe that but the article is from the World Socialist Web Site. I have no idea what they think of the rumor..
What about the rumor when deal is done. Frontier to buy the rest of Verizon's wireline?
