Not much need for a union if you’re working from home. What are you gonna do? Go outside and picket your own front door?

This makes it impossible, what could be the reason?

I always thought any job connected to cell phone tower testing and maintenance was considered a landline union job. There is a current Verizon commercial for 5G featuring “ network engineers”. Is this title a union job? How does Verizon... — read more
