Union Thugs No Education, but want to be paid like they have an M.B.A

The unions claim Verizon is asking union employees to contribute to their own health care premiums. They’re Right.

Verizon is proposing that its union-represented employees contribute more toward the cost of rising health care.

135,000 Verizon non-union employees already pay a portion of the health care premium. Verizon is asking the union-represented employees to chip in like everybody else.

All in an effort to best position Verizon to serve its customers. I think that’s fair.

MBA pay? I don't think so. Just a middle class wage. The same contract we've had for years. We just wanted the same contract we have always had. We would always take cuts in other ares so we didn't have to pay a premium. We would always make it up in co pays and deductables. People comment negatively when they're ignorant to the issues, jealous, or work for management. People should want to rise up not drag other people down.

11.9% of American workers are union. That figure is lower for the number of people that support the behavior of VZ strikers. The court of public opinion really does matter as VZ is feeling no pressure to change it's stance now, so keep acting like morons and should be some job openings when the real idiots get fired for their actions.

Strikers put kids in front of moving tech trucks and based on the phone calls I take for the customers in those areas, their techs stink (I've taken calls complaining of techs urinating in a customer's bushes while out on a call). They're vandalizing customers' services and harassing working people, the management isn't being bothered by this. Union is behaving like vulgar, selfish children.

I know some of the guys as I worked for ATT for a while and the union is lieing about the jobs going over seas how can a hands on tech who is in a repair vehicles to repair problems get sent overseas . Once again the union is getting it money and screwing the poor strikers.

You are the Union's lackey. The only pockets being enriched are the Union Bosses you take your orders from, slave. Go pick up your $120/wk slave wage suckers. IBEW = International Brotherhood of Easy Work. / CWA = Corporate Welfare Association
