The dumb asses can't fix anything so might as well waste time.
Why all the predictions for the end of the strike?
You do realize that the union trolls are making all these predictions (May 20, June 1, Jun 20) as a psychological measure to keep people from crossing. If the many members who are just hanging on knew how long this is going to be yet, they would... — read more
#beststrikeever
Thank god the union gave me a heads up before the strike. Problem is I just left the doctors and I'm coming off IB next week. I hope this ends 6/1.Do you think the company will stop my pay and benefits if we don't return then.
June 20th deadline
Company just told the union to ratify a contract with everything you asked for by the 20th or the offer is withdrawn to the previous LBFO on May 20th. FACT

What's your plan for when this is over??
In being that the writing is on the wall for the downsizing of the wireline side of the business, what are your plans to be prepared for more cutbacks. Will you ride the train until it stops? Perhaps use the education money for additional schooling... — read more
Dial Tone - do we need it?
Dial Tone - do we need it? I was told to order a case of dial tone for the CO where my EWA assignment is located. Liquid form is ok, but I could also get the powdered kind that you mix with water - which is able to be stored for a longer period of... — read more
Per JPMorgan conference this morning Lowell looks at strike in terms of a "three month window".
It is safe to assume that VZ has prepared for a three months long ordeal. Comments on strike were limited and discussed in an "investor information" context. Workforce flexibility and moving techs around biggest issue. Plus hiring contractors.
So what is Lowell going to say about,this ?

Hey Union members..
The success of the ewa teams deployed are proof that your entry level positions that you've covered for 20+ years are replaceable. Your Union only cares about your dues and not you. Follow the money because you've all been duped by union leadership.
Good article....pros and cons for both sides. Permanent replacement a prominent topic through out.

Return date will be June 6th. I hope you all drive over a cliff on the way to work though, I like the OT more than I like your worthless uniontrash lives.

Nothing is happening on June 1st just like nothing happened on May 20th.
The company continues to add more contractors every day. By August all the EWA's will go home and will be back to business as usual at Verizon with contractors doing the jobs that the CWA abandoned.
Today's discussion topics
Now children, here are your discussion topics for today: scum contractors, lazy worthless union workers, greedy management bastards, and clairvoyant predictions of the end of the strike. Get to work.
Why did you guys not report back to work?
I'm hear with a bunch of people I don't know, you guys said it was over. I don't understand what half these people are saying.
CWA Local 2108 RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS CIRCULATING FAST AND HEAVY!!!!
There is a gag order!!!! Everything is a rumor until it is lifted!!! Our leadership said we would not return without a contract. No repeats of 2011 and that is why we have continued to stand strong. Don't allow rumors to divide us or trick us. Let... — read more
Hot off the press announcement to be made later today...you can say this is bull but got from a very reliable source, this all ends today,
It's been real but finally time to move on posters
VZ Stock Down Again......Down 5.4% Since Strike Started!
That's a lot, anyway you slice it, or try to sugar coated, Wall Street will eventually dictate the strike end date, I can assure you that. Lowell McAdam, and any CEO for that matter, has to put their ego away when Wall Street tells them too.
This is not BK. Don't think you'll have it your way
Come back to work guys, before it's too late...

One thing I have learned through this whole process....
Duct tape does not fix everything, but it does show up wonderful in videos and pictures.
Cruel joke
Not sure if this is give hope to the EWAs or the Union. No one is coming back June 1st. Psychological attempt to get everyone excited with hope and then POOF. Suspect sociopath scab is the culprit. I want to go home too, but this is not even funny... — read more
Arrogance of Verizon

Hot off the presses.
I heard from my 12year old nephew. Who heard from my 10 year old niece that it's over. She heard it from her teacher that CWA f---ed up. Union guys are going to all be replaced. My niece is devastated. She loved you Union slobs.
