A contract covering 39,000 Verizon workers represented by two unions expires at the end of Saturday. Last week the Communication Workers of America announced that 86 percent of Verizon workers covered by the contract voted to strike in a recent poll, if a new agreement isn’t reached.
The contract covers employees in nine states from Massachusetts to Virginia who work for Verizon’s wireline business, which provides fixed-line phone services and FiOS Internet service.

Verizon is raising there internet fee by $3 per customer. These are greedy workers with some of the highest wages and benefits. Makes me think hard about switing everything from Verizon since I am paying more for less.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the employees decided to jack up your bill by $3, to give themselves a raise.
DeleteHow about asking CEO Lowell McAdam why he just gave himself a 16% pay raise, without negotiating with the customers for that $3 increase?
Let em roll , just raise the rates till you can't afford em.
ReplyDeleteJust like Dresser and the others who were union.
You are aware that it is executive management that raises the rates, and union members don't have anything to do with it?
DeleteOMG - What am I going to do? Oh thats right,I have Comcast.
ReplyDeleteAlready saw them picketing on Mt. Hermon Road, night before last.
ReplyDeleteThat was just an "informational" picket.
DeleteDIRECT T.V. AWESOME! !
ReplyDeleteI have to reset my dsl twice a day when the sun gets hot. I guess that is normal after 5 years because that's why I left Comcast, who gave me the same problems.
ReplyDeleteIt's just that one is cheaper than the other.
Service is secondary.
Both suck.
Unless you have worked there, worked there for well over a decade...hush, you may think you know or have an opinion, but you know nothing. Not diddly,
ReplyDelete^^^ What she said. She knows.
DeleteWorking without a contract for now: not going on strike yet. Giving the company the opportunity to bargain in good faith, which they have not yet so far.
