I'm sick of reading the Union vs EWA bull crap. Where's the Guy who posted the Pole and Cubicle monkey stuff? We need some more of his humor today. I still laugh over those posts

what can we do?

I know a lot of people are waiting to be offered an EISP. I expect the numbers of union members to drastically decrease by the end of this contract.

Everybody, run, run, run! Get lots of work done so Verizon can show half decent 2nd quarter results, send out an eisp and then start another round of layoffs. Total f'ing joke! VOTE NO to this contract or our membership will be in the 25k range by... — read more

Dear Union members, You won some items that were important to you and that is great, but in other respects, you've been had. Pre negotiating a set %age raise for the comings years sounds great. Guaranteed raises, yay! BUT, you went back to work... — read more
