Verizon was the worst work experience I have ever had in my life. It was horrible. I hate Verizon like I hate Satan. I was a steward and could do nothing to fight them. Verizon is an enormous legal department that also happens to provide voice, video, and data. The NLRB does nothing but kiss Verizon ass.
Verizon had 87,000 union employees in 2000, a number that had fallen to 78,000 by 2003 and further to today's 65,000. The company had 228,600 workers overall at the end of June, including Verizon Wireless.
Banc of America Securities analyst David Barden expects the deadline to pass without a contract, but without a strike starting, either. He is further quoted as saying...
"Labor will continue to go to work without a contract while the UNION leadership ratchets up its RHETORIC regarding the need for a contract and Verizon expresses optimism a fair agreement is possible," Barden wrote in a research note.
They think we are full of shit & will not go on strike.
In case any one is taking this lightly, Verizon Management went out and RAN A FIOS FIBER OPTIC CABLE TODAY IN BROOKLYN. This is a violation of the CBA and as I see it the start of a very nasty weekend and strike. The BROOKLYN MANAGEMENT just woke the sleeping GIANT. 1109 will not back down and is looking forward to fighting for our work!! Hay Verizon, YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE. WANT A FIGHT GOT A FIGHT!!! NO CONTRACT NO WORK. NO REMOVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT INVOLVED! NO WORK!!!!
Most of them have relied on the union and its members in the past for support. Our reward? A slap in the face.1109 never turns its back on our own. That is why it hurt to have some SCUM BAGS turn their backs on us. I am sure you are a great member but nothing says FU to the company then refusing their money. An old Union Pal use to scream "Them, Them FUCK Them!". RIP Big Jim and thanks for showing the youngsters (16+ years) like me how to act with the company when push comes to shove.
ohsourban Sorry but you do not understand the situation in Brooklyn. I trust you are a good member. I do. However, the losers that worked are not. We are from Brooklyn, they knew not to work. They CHOSE TO TURN THEIR BACKS ON US. I was happy to attend and see old friends. I would like to have seen more members from my local. I will not overlook or easily forget the scum who worked.

It is a good thing that I am in another "union" to assist me against the two-faced divided scab union that I am in.
