Local 827 IBEW storms Paramus park mall in NJ and pickets the FIOS kiosk!

[JColtF]

I like crossing union pickets

[vachief]

...If you want to save Union jobs....and your pension, get rid of the globalists and vote Ron Paul 2012.

[3threethings]

To manager WOOT WOOT didn't your "boss" tell you how much we make ?? It's in their propaganda. You need a few more years of that pay to make up for how badly they screwed you. Sorry

[TheHobbgobblin]

I support you, the workers...stay strong and good luck, hope you can get the young people working in the little kiosks to organize as well, more Americans should be walking off and organizing....don't count on your dam politicians to do jack for any of us....

[naeeyore]

To the mgr that is making all the OT WOOT WOOT! Woot to all the taxes your giving back.Woot towards our unemployment benefits. Woot to your benefits you have to pay for.Woot to the frozen pension you won't have. And when we do return Woot to the weekends working and only getting COMP time.Yeah Woot Woot to that IDIOT! and the other dumbass THANK ABC for running that fatality on the elderly woman bcause MGMT couldnt provide service in a TIMELY MANNER. WE HAVE PLENTY OF PUBLIC SUPPORT!

[starvingandhomeless]

@naeeyore perhaps that support will come in the form of a federal indictment for the acts of terrorism you maggots performed by cutting fiber cables to police stations and hospitals? i sure hope so. see you on "america's most wanted".

[GALVESTON340]

i have a question since i am not in the area that is on strike against VZ but am an employee. VZ Wireless kiosks sell FIOS data and video subs up there as well as the wireless products? Guess that's why they shut down all of our Phonemarts down a few years ago down here? Nice picket! No name calling or other stuff that would have the "Mall Cop" calling for backup! STAY STRONG!!

[SuperUnionbuster]

Just looked at my paystub for the week....80hrs of straight pay....68 hours of OT! WOOT WOOT! Can you guys hold out until Christmas, my bank account is thanking you!!!!

[jaoneilp28]

This is Verizon's perfect chance to break the union which has almost zero public support.

[zennypup]

Get a life union idiots

[jaoneilp28]

You union thugs have zero support and are making asses of yourselves...ZERO SUPPORT!

[pitbull827]

To all you union haters, don't worry your heads will be on the chopping block next if this great country continues toward economic collapse. You need to look at the big picture and draw a line somewhere so this is a fight for the middle class not just for unions. Those with money & power will continue to hold on to it by any means necessary. If the unions fail then anyone making a halfway decent living will be the next target union or non-union. Then we'll have 2 classes. Where will you end up?

[IamDoucheBagHunter]

Your IBEW union brothers w/b working your jobs from a hall pretty soon. They have been negotiating your work with Verizon for some time. So if I were you I'd look to see if you can do a real electricians job and join a better local. We pay toward our benefits and if we don't do the work that we are getting paid for we get replaced. Your pathetic IDIOTS

[Linbrook09]

Corporate greed. Verizon makes billions in profit. Union members are middle class workers trying to hold on to fair wages and decent benefits.

[devadiponeness1]

LOL @ all the people who think the union members are the greedy ones. Instead of saying "hey why don't i have that at my job?" they say "they don't deserve all that anyways!" the companies have us all hoodwinked

[BackToTheFutrell]

@devadiponeness1 Very well put

[js144305]

No, please do not come back to work. Stay right where you are collecting strike paychecks and unemployment. Unions have chosen to bleed themselves dry. So you may get some concessions for the next 3 years. But what happens after that?  Verizon isn't in trouble. Your sense of entitlement is.

[FrankeeFraud]

Verizon: Fire these ungrateful union slobs, and I'll switch over from T-mobile, I promise.

[albyva]

Go back to work, you Union Socialist Bloodsuckers.

[questioningdisciple]

Attention union haters: America is not in a depression because of labor unions. America is in a depression by design. The implosion of America has been engineered by financial terrorists. (The foreign banks that own The Federal Reserve, the global elite, hedge funds, etc.) If more people would stand up and say no, America might have a chance. I hope you all enjoy your corporate fascist American slave state.

[discolarry124]

I like this video, the guard did nothing to stop the marchers,they march & were COOL, just walked around the kiosk. By the way, those people working at the kiosk are NOT union MEMBERS they are "contingent/contractors" They are the ones that keep us union workers from expanding into the malls and other 'nice' places. Store in Hempstead N.Y. is nice it was just expanded, but what a waste of money they did to fix it up! Problem is They need more union workers at the store, cant handle the load!

[TheMachomann1]

It must be nice to have strike duty in a nice air conditioned mall. You have cool air, restrooms, a food court & you can do some shopping after your strike duty is over.

[SkiMadRiverGlen]

One must remember that those who complain about Vz workers having better benefits than they, lost theirs because they did NOT fight. They folded like a cheap wallet. They fell for the lie. They believed in Trickle Down....

Trickle down is for dogs and fire hydrants.... Corporate greed is here folks. It's mission is to remove the middle class.

[mysweetrebecca]

@SkiMadRiverGlen That's right brother! Tell them!

[questioningdisciple]

@SkiMadRiverGlen Excellent comment! Right on the money!

[serendipity51]

Nice film, In solidarity CWA 2108 Maryland

[RumbleCrow]

When you use the toilet, do you need to get someone's assistance, or can you do that alone?

[RumbleCrow]

When you entered the mall, did you all have to open the door together. No wait, did you have to drive together and then hold hands walking through the mall? I only ask because you all "bargain" together and follow your career path together.

[RumbleCrow]

You removed my comment, but the truth stands.

[RightReb]

Truth hurts doesn't it? You can keep deleting all the negative comments, at least it gives you something to do since you now have no job! You unions just got your asses handed to you in Wisconsin you spent millions and millions of dollars on the recall election and you LOST!! Verizon stock is fairing well even in the market meltdown. Your all out of work and no will will hire lazy fat slobs that dont work! Good luck feeding your kids.

[acidjax73]

Awesome

[ColbyPits1972]

That mall cop has a gun!

[crayrail]

LOL Mall cop reporting for duty!

[maddox626]

It's all about good jobs! Keep up the good work! WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN

[xdogish2]

awesome...This is my third strike....and what I thought would be the darkest days have become the brightest. stay strong brothers and sisters ....CWA1120!

[jsirles56]

test

[NiahBanana]

Stay strong brothers, we support you!!!!

[usnbigal1974]

Here is an idea, the union can be replaced with all of our military veterans coming back from the wars. what a great story that would be. Motivated, dedicated men and women!

[NYCDrock]

@usnbigal1974

Just for the record, there are a whole lot of veterans who have served their nation that work for verizon in the unions. Go union, the backbone of the middle class!

[ZwankaInc]

@usnbigal1974 most Union men and women are vets, so great idea! Too bad its already been DONE.

[BackToTheFutrell]

@usnbigal1974 How are these people not motivated? An unmotivated person would say "whatever" and let their company take whatever they wanted from them. These people are motivated to stand up for what they have fought for over the years. They're not greedy. Greedy people want MORE, they just want it to stay consistent. Remember, both sides won't budge, but only one side is asking to have it all (the company.)

[kanidanieldariusdad]

i feel great to be in this union stay strong , brought chills to me seeing the passion ,  ibew 827 parkway garage we got your backs on anything

[BigOx922]

Outstanding! Keep up the great work brothers! I'm a CWA Local 1104 member and am proud to walk the picket line with the IBEW. Our unity and solidarity will show this company, and this nation, that the middle class will not just lay down and die, we will fight to protect our way of life. We will not be indentured servants, and we NOT allow our beloved United States to be transformed into a third world nation by greedy corporations!

[seabiscuit61]

smart, too hot to walk a picket line outside...........

[tomb1130]

keep it up brothers and sisters......

[supportthejerseymob]

haha, loved the interview in the beginning... lol

[NuclearCujo]

Keep at it guys! You are awesome!

[waterwolf94]

Awesome! Let the public understand that greedy verizon is the reason their cell phone bill is so high not the unions. Save the middle class! Keep the union!

[NiahBanana]

@waterwolf94 Couldn't have said it better myself! GREED of fat cats and corporate pigs is the biggest downfall of this country and the reason for the disintegration of the middle class, NOT the unions that fight to preserve what little rights we still have!

[GreedArrest]

Push back, the greed stops here..... Great work guys...

[edpepsi1]

EXCELLENT BROTHERS!!!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!

[truckee31]

Love it guys!!

[sailormn1]

Great job. KEEP IT UP!!!!
