Please tell me how the union will win this strike?

Calling for a vote on the last and final offer.

VZ in it for the long haul

Lowell visited a call center yesterday and told EWA employees they'll be on assignment until end of June and then continue on a revolving EWA assignment atleast through the Fall of this year. He's not backing down at all.
