Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Shelton sold us all out

In Shelton's latest huffington post interview he talks about Wall Street greed and winning this battle in 2017. I guess he thinks his buddy Bernie is getting in. I don't know about you but how many of us can stay out until 2017? We are screwed. Time to find a new career. Stay strong but don't be stupid.

"Verizon managed to axe around 60,000 of these union whales in 5 years with a halfassed contract."

You've conveniently added a zero to your data...

2011 strike = 45,000

2016 strike = 39,000

So we've lost 6,000 in five years. Not good, but not nearly as bad as you made it seem.

What are u talking about??? The deal is done and we are returning June 1st. Scabs may or may not get hired on by Verizon, but will be like the 03ers and have no layoff protection. Ffs, stop with the bs. Tuesday is the return day, you and everyone else will get the word close of business friday may 27.

"We know that people are frustrated by a corrupt system that rewards the billionaire class over working people families. Working together and looking ahead to January 2017, we expect to win this fight against corporate greed."........... This does not imply strike will be over in Jan 2017. Remember Union and Verizon " agreed" not to make any public statements about negotiations. There is no information available about the status of negotiations. Its frustrating, however it is simply not reasonable to make decisions based off of rumors and speculation.

IBEW and cwa are both in bed with Verizon.

The unions don't care about its members, they just care about new members!!!!! They will screw us all for 200 new union hires!!! We union members are the fools, for allowing it to happen.

IBEW does not get any pay, and here in New Jersey we don't get unemployment, but our union leaders still get their fat checks!!

F--- THE IBEW and all its brass...

No mention of our struggle on the IBEW' national site

Verizon managed to axe around 60,000 of these union whales in 5 years with a halfassed contract.

The next one, if any, should finish the job in less than 2 years.

Really? "You're ready comprehension is absurd man."

You mean: "Your reading comprehension is absurd, man."

People comprehend what they read better when you use correct grammar, f*ckwit.

"Stay strong but don't be stupid."

No one is stupid enough to actually believe the implications made in your post. Basic reading comprehension was a requirement when we got hired.

Go to sleep, the heat is clearly getting to you...
