I've heard the Union makes life miserable for actual union members who cross the line. How so? After a strike is over, do they just harass them at work if they work with one or ignore them?

Union members are scum

The scare tactics won't work, so you can stop with all your B.S posts. I do find it flattering that you can't do it without me, and it's obvious by your constant begging us to cross or return as if you care about us. Customers are leaving now in the... — read more 

Cadillac health care plan gets an extra 40% tax on it. It's a major reason why Verizon needs concessions from you. Your unions helped the democrats push this punishment on companies as a way to fund Obama care. Naturally companies then toss those... — read more 

Why did the Union push the strike? They were negotiating and keeping their members paid with full benefits with contract coverage. Miscalculated move on the Unions part - leadership should be replaced. The Union has to look in the mirror on this one... — read more 

Honest question here. What was the rationale behind the Union's decision to turn down using a federal mediator prior to the work stoppage? Wouldn't this be a viable way now to get everyone back to their normal jobs while a 3rd party helps push... — read more

Any truth that the union is stopping strike fund payments once unemployment starts. We are not getting a clear answer and get the feeling that they don't want us to know they are planning on doing this.

The company can't deport/revoke every single H1B's visa if a wide scale move is made to unionize them. Why haven't unions tried calling corporate bluffs and tried unionizing H1B's? Seems like a century ago, unions would've gone to the ends of the... — read more

When Chris Shelton says this is about good union jobs across the United States he is not lying. But what he failed to tell you is that these union jobs are at Verizon wireless. Not at Verizon wireline. But somebody forgot to tell Chris Shelton that... — read more 

We have gotten more words of support and encouragement than not. Customers are seeing how greedy and screwed up Verizon is and support us in this fight. Lowell must be feeling the "bern" of lost profits to his bottom line!

Just watched the new Mudge video... they plan on this going indefinitely with help coming for the ewa in 3rd quarter. All I can say is holy crap

Me and one other. Both had 38 hours , we car pool. We were late two days because we're tied up in traffic caused by, you guessed it, other picketers. Local does not care. Sick of this already, time to sign.
