Verizon strikers blocking Verizon truck while on strike and directing traffic around it.

Striking Verizon workers blocked 2 verizon trucks including 1 in the middle of an intersection at Water and Williams st. Verizon guys were directing traffic around the blocked truck using whistles just like the traffic cops until the real cops showed up.

Think of the profits Verizon could make if the Union folks worked as hard at their jobs as they do being on strike.

This is HORRIBLE. I support the "scab" in the truck, he's the smart ones! GETTING PAID while you stand around all day. You're the selfish ones. Not Verizon. When you're all sitting without jobs, because Verizon isn't going to waste it's time anymore, will it all be worth it then? My father's one of you. He doesn't get any pity from the rest of us. There's hundreds of people who would just be HAPPY to have a job. The 9.2% of unemployed people in america would be HAPPY to take your jobs.

Thousands of people in this country who would do ANYTHING for a paying job and these faggot entitled union fucks standing around with their thumbs up their asses.

I hope all of you lose your homes and children.

@Pillowflame "Without coercion from the government" Really? Okay so why am I forced to pay taxes then? How are they allowed to do that then? hmm. And you do have the right to decide for your employer to what you should be paid. It's called leaving if you the pay is not adequate or striking. And I personally believe you should have the right to free healthcare. It's for YOUR health. How can you be the party of family and morals but not for free healthcare as a right? You are a joke.

The thing people don't realize, is that CEO's usually get paid big money, because they are FUCKING BETTER at what they do than the rest of you. Not everyone is equal. There are losers in life and winners in life. Fortunately, we are human beings and have the capacity to improve. And the first step in doing so, is to realize you are a loser and take steps to correct it, not "occupy" places of business and demand entitlements from others (IE: winners).

@randb247 According to your logic, CEO's would also be getting paid 7 dollars per hour, right? Why would the company pay them any more if there is no union in place to ensure he gets paid big bucks.

OH WAIT. SUPPLY AND DEMAND BITCH.

@Parknutzz You aren't entitled to jack to shit. All you are entitled to, is the opportunity to live your life and make your own choices without coercion from the government. You do not have a "right" to free healthcare. You do not have a "right" to decide for your employer what you should be getting paid. Supply and Demand decide the worth of everything in a free market, including your labor. You aren't fighting for "rights" you are fighting for socialism. You are a menace to freedom.

@Parknutzz Your idea of progress is to progressively introduce socialism into the private sector. I assume when you speak of "other G-20 countries" you refer to places in Europe.

Well guess what, in France you are legally not allowed to work more than 33 hours a week. Also, the cost of doing business is exponentially higher because apparently workers are now "entitled" to a million benefits.

What you fail to understand is that this causes economies to collapse.

Lucky for you he made more than 12 bucks an hour, and provided you with health and dental insurance.

Verizon makes 8 to 14 billion with union workers so I think they make plenty.
