We were duped.

Verizon went 45 days without somebody doing your normal job. There is no way the company could have survived without somebody (You) doing OUR job. Don't worry that we lost money, we WILL get a lot back by working plenty of OT to cleanup the mess you... — read more 

Also since you are all so sure you will have jobs forever remember that 5g is coming!!!!!

If the current offer gets ratified, we don't have to go through this again for a while. For that I am thankful. Some people on both sides will still have grudges. I personally don't have problems with mgmt where I work. I hope they don't get riffed... — read more 

If they were scheduled for training that has been canceled.

Why is everyone posting all these claims of what is agreed when they are still drafting the agreement. Once that is done it will go to the lawyers to get the approval to proceed. No one know what was given up on either side, we need to sit back until... — read more 

What's the news?

Union scum lol

So far, looks great !! Job security intact, 10% raise, adding union jobs , out of state transfers off the table , $1200 ratification bonus etc, slight increase in healthcare , now VZ wireless retail unionized. I'd say not bad from what I've seen... — read more 

If they keep him at the helm they are all just a bunch of f---ing losers - what a joke of a leader he is - he loses everything

In 2011 we worked with contract extension and possibly got retroed our raise back to August. This time we worked with no contract for the first time in history. I do not think we are entitled to retro raise due to not having a contract since August... — read more 

WIN!

Now that the contract is nearing completion, it's time for folks like Marc R, Lowell, Bobby, Shammster to move on. John S is picking out office furniture and will be glad to see the others leave. Who else do you think will retire?

Something doesn't seem right about this. There is obviously much more to this. What did the union give up?

Here comes the whales. Soon to be back in there jobs, chip on there shoulder attitudes, lazy job protected oxygen wasters.The Only reason lowell gave anything is pressure from the HNIC at the white house. You might have escaped this battle but we... — read more 

I am glad to see another EISP being offered company wide as opposed to select groups.

It is my understanding then what a membership vote takes place - strike, ratify a contract, etc.. That non-votes are counted as yes votes. So if out of a 35,000 person membership, if 15,000 vote no, 5,000 vote yes and 15,000 don't vote, the measure... — read more 

Lesson learned, you have to stand up and fight for what is right and just.

All this talk, was just horseplay.. you know.. just fun and games. I didn't mean all that stuff I said about you guys in a literal sense, it was just poking in good fun. I mean, in reality I understand that my MTTR is supported by your efforts and if... — read more 

Glory be to the Father, and to The Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Just like we did at the end of the last one, or the one before that. Yeah, right?

We have an agreement in principle with Verizon and vzw, it's a 4 year contract with 10.5% in raises, 1500 jobs added to the footprint, fap and art 8 as well as transfers across state lines has been withdrawn. $1250 hra/bonus. And cps intact. Pole... — read more

Whether its a good or bad contract it will be ratified. In 2011 I voted no because it was a bad contract but people just want to get back to work. At least we fought over this one, where in 2011 we just bent over and took it. To all the EWA... — read more 

At least all those backwater dirty scabs from the south with the 9 week guaranteed paid contracts can finally see a dentist and get their teeth fixed... Thats unless of course this piss all the money away on whisky
