Really?? I have been a "CWA puke" for 40 years and I have meet and worked with so called "contractors" I wouldn't let turnup my toilet. I made over $90,000 last year and am retiring this year with $140,000 severance pay, my 401k with matching company funds and my pension. What about you?

Don't hate! Just because you're unemployed and unemployable due your disablility (it's obvious looking at your spelling) don't stand in the way of those of us with normal intelligence. I imagine that your EVER being in a position to fire anyone is about as likely as pigs taking flight.

Unions are NOT what drove GM to it's current state, George Bush and idiot managers did. The reason why the country is in a recession now is because the average consumer has no money to spent and THAT"S because the majority of the workers real wages have not increased in the last 20 years. You can't maintain the largest econmy in the world on walmart wages.

Wireless doesn’t stand along all wireless is based upon a wired and fiber optic infrastructure. Now more that ever wireless is dependent on the Fiber Optic infrastructure with 3G and 4G networks coming main stream the demand for OC3s and OC12s optic network is now their bread and butter . In the CO we are the techs that install and maintain these Hi Speed CKTs. VZ would like to say the all wireline does is Dial Tone and FiOS that’s totally not true. We also install Hi speed Internet ckts also

@collagevmp oh im not unemployed or unemployable i have been steadily working as a contract splicer for 28 years i am curently doing quality inspections on at&t property,i see why the union has to protect your jobs.we hold ourselves to higher standards due to pride.i havent met a cwa or ibew puke that i would even let carry my toolbag. oh yea if you knew how much money we make contracting it would be easy to see why we could afford to buy a union protected job,but elect to have some pride .
