Two in lawn chairs, one sitting in the ground as cars drove in. Their signs were staked knit the grass. Very lazy, as we've come to expect from the cwa. It was pretty pathetic. Shocker, all three were grossly overweight.

Everyone was pumped lol, Verizon is doing fine I mean there is backlog of install tickets but repair tickets are caught up and call queues are clear. Union better come to terms with themselves if they wish to continue to have a job.

There have been questions regarding Verizon's letter to striking CWA members saying that our health care benefits will be discontinued at the end of April should we still be on strike. Anyone who has a chronic health issue requiring medication... — read more

If you know people who want a job with competitive salary and benefits, tell them to contact Verizon immediately. You are replaceable!!

In this political season where "corporate greed" is someone's mantra, if this company locked out 40,000 employees, they would be done. Especially with the millenials, whom they covet so much. Workers will be back soon (under a month), and federal... — read more

Ask your hero Lowell Mcadam, he has a contract with the company too!

Did everyone suddenly become pro-union? Or what did Verizon do to these people? Like 8 out of every 10 people I speak to say they support the strikers. Seems like the company made a blunder this time.
