Game Over,
Is this upunions dying? YES, because is no longer for the worker or their values. The true American worker has to pick up the slack of those who do not pull their own load because the unions have made it so the non-producing workers cannot be fired!... — read more

It's all about wireless
Don't let the union tell you anything different. It's all about the wireless. Remember it was no big deal when 200 techs were moved to Brooklyn from Long Island . Remember it was no big deal when techs from all over Verizon were temporarily moved to... — read more
Working in a coal mine is a craft job, not in a call center or driving around in a air conditioned truck hooking stuff up to a tv!!
True story here ya'all !!!
Daily Updates
What time will the "Stay strong, we are winning the fight!" And "Last Best Final Offer" updates come out today? Lol
Why are Union employees so obese but want free healthcare?
Shouldn't they be required to better themselves to get free healthcare And shouldn't they be required to stop smoking if they expect Verizon to bear the majority of their healthcare costs. This is a serious post btw!
Big Rally
Big rally going on at VA training center 500 union members, about 20 ppl in training from out of state, 2 quit in 45mins. Doesnt look good for VZ, it will take 1yr to replace all techs
I was hoping the union would drive down stock price
I sold off 6 figures in my 401k a couple months ago when I figured ~54 was a high point... was hoping the strike would drive it back down to mid-high 40s so I could move money back into VZ stock and ride it back up again. But the strike has not had a... — read more
I seriously hate Union employees
I'm a proud scab and I don't know why they feel so entitled and expect Verizon to guarantee them a job for their entire life and pension but won't fight for ratification bonus/back pay !!!!!! They only fight for what they need and not overall as a... — read more
No picketers in sight at my EWA location.
There was a big crowd in the morning and now they're all gone. Anybody else seeing the same thing at their locations?
Donald Trump just exposed America's dirty little secret: Schiff
"Trump just admitted on CNBC that America has too much debt to afford a rate hike, and that he wants our creditors to accept less than 100 cents on their Treasuries," the Euro Pacific Capital CEO explained on CNBC's " Futures Now " last week. "In... — read more

This is not about Wireless
I just want to state, reading all of these disgusting posts where wireless attacks wireline workers....I really dont want to hear that this is hard on you wireless employees working all these hours and doing jobs you don't normally do. Wireline is... — read more
EWA'S DOING AN ASTONISHING GREAT JOB! WORK LOAD DOWN TO NILL AND ALL INSTALLATIONS IN CUE COMPLETED! AS OF 5/8/16
This is more than we could have even imagined, There is literally not one job in the pool tonight as of 6;18 pm. The company has to thank each, and every EWA staff member for this herculean feat. I always knew we could do this. There will be an... — read more
How many have crossed?
What is the tally at?
Happy Mother's Day to all Verizon Workers
No matter what side anyone has been forced to land on, Happy Mother's Day...no one is fully enjoying it this year and the end result will be terrible for all of us, union, management, and customers of landline, they don't want any of us in the... — read more
Please take a moment and pray, or send some good thoughts if you don't pray, for everyone who is hurting from this fiasco.
Customers, Strikers, and EWAs.
Temp work force
Made up of a lot of former union members from VzCore and other LECs, comcast, xo, mom and pop LEC techs (Shentel near me in VA) and others that did field or tower work in the past. They are being told that the assignment is for three months, with a... — read more
An EWA reports in. Laugh or cry.
Well, I am stuck in one of the biggest cities in the Northeast, a veteran of over 15 years of working at level 2 for layer 3 devices for some of the company's largest and highest revenue generating customers. I've survived MCI, I survived Worldcom... — read more
Jokes on the union
All the EWAers in my section were given the option to have off for mothers days. So all the yokels with their sappy Tokyo rose bullish!t about mothers day can stick it up their own mother's asses. Lolololol
Happy Mother's Day
To all the moms, whether you're a union mom walking the line, or a management mom working an EWA, I hope you have a great day. Moms are the glue that holds so many families together, your role can never be appreciated enough. We have disagreements on... — read more
Employment is not about supply/demand. It is about living and to have a human life at least on par or above the animal life, which do not
work for a living. Sometimes I get these feeling that humans are much dumber than animals. Humans have created all these laws and became prisoners of their own laws. Animals have more freedom than poor humans.
EWAs take heart. This will not go on forever. By August 1, 2016, we will have enough replacements trained and in place.
Spread the word. Verizon is hiring!
Mothers day is For Spending Time With Mom....Everyday Mothers Day Is To Be Cherished.
You never know when it's going to be your last so take every opportunity you can.
Where is Picketers today? So what if it's Mother Days?

Very Quiet Weekend, Outstanding Service Levels (not a sarcastic post either its reality!)
Service levels high EWA'ers and contractors getting better by the day. I truly believe Verizon will be able to dissolve the union by the end of the month. The union is like a scab that won't go away!
Overtime Pay, Paid Leave, OSHA, Weekends off, Minimum Wage, Child Labor, Workers Comp, Pensions
You can thank Unions while you enjoy these benefits and regret when they are gone because temp workers don't qualify for these, and companies wants 1099 to get rid of them.
Unions?
With Obama yet again on TV, taking credit for the Fed's reflation of the stock market as somehow indicative of an economic "recovery" ("fiction peddlers" not allowed in the crowd), here is another way of showing the unprecedented transformation in... — read more
UNION IS WINNING!!!!!!!
They want to see 39k break down and cross, but they failed. Keep your $$$ we keep our dignity, freedom and respect. Cut the hand that feed you and you will starve, hire as much temps as you want but it will never be the same. Few can not exploit many... — read more
Why isn't Union fighting for backpay/ratification bonus/profit sharing for this year?
Union is so useless I tell you! Fighting for all the wrong issues!
