Two serious questions for Union members.
Will the Union find you jobs if Verizon does not hire you back? I don't understand why employees go on strike for a company they do not enjoy working for? If you don't like it, if you do not agree with what the boss says, then find another job, is it... — read more

For What It's Worth
Company is in this for the long haul. i.e.: the billions of profits they make each quarter means they have cash. Yes, they have debt, but smart debt. Just because a company holds a sh*t ton of debt doesn't mean they're struggling. Company wants to... — read more

VZ Union Salaries
What do the typical technicians make a year in NY - NJ - PA - MA - VA WVA? Do the really make 100k a year with OT - plus benefits? How much do they pay for healthcare? Do they get vacation day/pay. Is OT really double time.
Ridiculous that this has gone on this long!!!
Sick of the same Union BS on this site. There is no reason that this has gone on this long. No bargaining happening and people are in the streets going broke! Dumbest strike yet! What is it over? Sick of the union talking points. Company addressed... — read more

So, union wants contractual right to 1) a job, 2) forever, 3) at pay/benefits and workforce numbers they alone deem reasonable;
and 4) only at job performance standards that they alone deem reasonable, and 5) only with a degree of job performance monitoring/enforcement that they alone deem reasonable; and 6) only at whatever largely fixed union workforce numbers they alone... — read more
Union backing off keeping call center jobs!
Reason- Alot of call center employees have crossed.
Can't wait
Until they outsource all of their Internet troll technician positions. Morons.
Warning: Your replacement is in training RIGHT NOW.
I know you think that Verizon is going to fold, but they won't. Right now they are training new employees vendors in both the U.S. and abroad to do most of your jobs - and not just temporarily during the strike, but from now on. If it were me, I’d be... — read more
Very few of the custmers I come into contact while doing your easy job even care that you are on strike.
Most of them actually wonder why your striking saying things like what are they striking for they have it good.

About crossing the line in VA. Honest question, not sure I will do it or not.
In VA half my garage is back to work already. Those guys are saying that they work under the old contract and that they will still be considered collectively bargained employees so will be automatically covered by whatever new deal comes about even... — read more
