No long-term plan
Perhaps I’m wrong, but I don’t see that this leadership has any long-term strategy for this company. If there is, it is quite unclear what it is. It seems to me more like they lost their direction a long time ago and no longer have a clear vision? I... — read more

How long will the CWA remain silent in the vaccine mandate at Verizon?
They have been reviewing the information for more than a week.
