FIXED WIRELESS BROADBAND
So VZ execs are sold on the stupid idea of fixed wireless broadband that will eliminate need for wireline. Ok, the radio waves needs line of sight (infrared) to every router, base station every 5miles or so. Seems like a great project for a desert... — read more
In NY strikers can get unemployment payments after 49 days.
This is bullshit. Why should my taxes go to pay bums walked off the job that pays more than I make?
Advertising for jobs on indeed.com. This strike is going to be long. http://www.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=ffc947c9d9d29ad8&from=serp

The Stock Price Tells All
The stock is down $4/ share since Apr 4, and broke through its $51 support level. The company is on the ropes, and the Board will not likely let the srike make it to the elections. Keep on the pressure CWA & IBEW. They execs wanted to starve FiOS and... — read more
If the union people are so unhappy why don't they quit and go find a job somewhere else?
I don't understand why they stay in a job they hate and complain instead of finding something else to do.
Taking big risks with EWAs
Back in the 80s and 90s, it probably made sense to use management employees to temporarily fill in for striking workers. With today's workforce composition, I feel the company is putting managers in harms way sending them out on these assignments... — read more

Go Teamsters! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2016/04/20/one-of-the-nations-largest-pension-funds-could-soon-cut-benefits-for
At least our pensions aren't managed by the CWA. Just another example of a union screwing over its members.

The Corrupt Corporate Media favor Verizon over truth
Don't believe the hype. http://fair.org/home/when-both-sides-are-covered-in-verizon-strike-bosses-side-is-heard-more/
Verizon tries to change the narrative with fake reports of sabotage.
What do you do when the public hates you and you are getting beat up in the press?
Day nine. Nine down nine to go. I say that the union will let their members lose another week of pay then crawl back with some lame victory tale
the last weekend of the month. They know most of their members care enough about their families not to risk them going uninsured and will cross. Of course some hard cores will tote the union line all the way to homelessness, still blaming the big... — read more

Squirrel Force Five secret message: "Keep on Flossing"
Grown men posting this type of stupid crap have to be more than a little effeminate. Squirrel force five, come on, out of the closet already.
Did anyone else have a problem with their paycheck being short money?
I saw in another post that someone was short almost $400 and mine was short almost $500. Curious as to how many others are having this issue. I wonder if the union techs had problems with their paychecks like this as well?
Tomorrow's The Big Day. Q1 Results.
Of course Shamwow and his clown show will lie their asses off about the numbers as always. Got to paint a rosey picture for the precious shareholders.
Network sabotage

Deal reached
Union bosses made out as they always do. They intend to let the grunts bleed for two or three more weeks to make the sh!tty contact they signed feel worthwhile.
Heard Verizon cancelled deliveries from UPS.
UPS workers are not scabs! Thanks Brothers and Sisters!
Coincidence? I think not. Wow.

I don't understand why the union doesn't just go back and take mediation now instead of waiting until the end of the month.
Everyone already knows that's what's going to happen. Why do we have to lose another weeks pay?
Verizon is very much like the original AT&T
Verizon's current execs remind me of the execs at AT&T. They also bragged about moving into 'the future' and went out of their way to get out of most things basic telecomm, only to make a mess of all of it, and end up being purchased by baby Bells... — read more
Call Center Work is not a "Craft" job!

Union must be doing some damage based on the amount and bitterness of anti-union trolls

Does the public even know we're on strike? Nothing in the news unless you search for it, no headlines.

Why don't these union people go find other jobs if they think they are treated so badly at Verizon?
Leaders and good workers don't sit around and complain incessantly if they don't like their job. They go find a job that better suits them.

To the guy who keeps telling everyone to quit if they don't like it.
How about if YOU don't like working for a company that has a UNION, then YOU quit? Go be a management suckup at some non-union company. Furthermore If you knew anything about the history of this country, you would know the contribution of unions to... — read more
