You walked out and gave up seven weeks of pay because the union told you so. Now you're coming back to work because the union told you so. And what exactly did you gain for your seven weeks of pay? More dues for the union from a handful a wireless... — read more

If it looks like a fishy dea, l swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck, or in this case a fool,We are about to be tested, this implies that Verizon is king and is not what it appears to be.

If we come back before knowing if it's voted in or not we could end up going back out and waiting another 7 weeks for unemployment! They want to cut the strike short to avoid paying benefits and force this contract!

No 30 year cap on pensions 3% pension band increase. 10.5% pay increase 8 buildings slated for closing will not close. Retirees taken care of They didn't get what they wanted with outsourcing and forced transfers

That would be the drunken hillbilly southern redneck Luke bryan tractor rap listening trailer trash fools who thought climbing poles and dealing with customers in 90 degree heat would be..well, bubbas' northern vacation.

we wouldn't have been on strike and lost a penny it's always better to fight them while we are taking their money and remember Verizon's credo No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely

But I guess that's OK I'm sure they're off having a great holiday weekend on our dime.

Now that union has won and wireless is also unionized, I am happy to see the path being paved for many of the management leadership to exit in humiliation, including several managers, directors, VPs.

On May 5 Vz was included with other telecom companies that they would be hiring between them 25k veterans and spouses with the WH's Joining Forces program. And now the strike deal is to create 1500 new jobs. Um. Smh. They already committed to... — read more
