IBEW strikers harass a Verizon truck.

IBEW went on strike last week and these guys are everywhere trying to disrupt business for Verizon. Good luck guys!

Let's get a couple of things straight. I DO NOT WORK FOR VERIZON, NOR AM I A MEMBER OF THE IBEW. This just happened to be going on outside my office while I was on lunch. I do not have an opinion either way on who is right or wrong. I'm just sharing what's going on in my world.

@zaztek1 As the old saying goes when you resort to violence and cursing, you have lost the argument. Those wearing shirts that say "scab hunter" should be forced to remove them for supporting violence. And guess what morons, those of you who are cutting cables are going to be busted by the FBI. Rot in jail!!!!!!!!!!!!

@zaztek1 Union's do not have there own mind or voice... If workers wanted to go back to work in 89 so they didn't loose there house or ruin there credit for lack of a paycheck...they were completely harassed at work,home on the road and anywhere else they went. This is not brotherhood or sister unless you are an 8 year old who had shitty parents that never taught basic human decency, self respect or just plain morals!

Unions are utter trash and should be illegal

Unions are greedy? Look what stunt Verizon tried to pull with a 2 dollar fee for paying your bill online. Actions speak louder than words. Verizon is a POS.

You say you don't have an opinion yet you wish them luck? Are you a politician?

@montysez your jobs are going overseas because unions are greedy

truck driver should have just gunned it - that truck has a right to be on that road, those pedestrians don't (and, as such, do not have the right of way)

@bklyndude77 - LMAO - you're a joke. Ever heard of short and long term disability? This isn't 1910 where we didn't have child labor laws, or any workers rights. You are protected and the crap you guys are fighthing for isn't about being protected from getting injured on the job. Unions where once needed and did a great service. Because of your leadership, your org have become greedy and worthless! You sound like you'd take food out of your moms own mouth to feed your greedy ars.

@zaztek1 I think you just made the position that Union members are morons even stronger. Thanks for the help.

hmmn just a thought ,people say union worker are lazy,igorant,son of@@@@,Dont know anything ,lack education,etc ...Lets see Police (Pba union) Firefighter,(union),teacher(un­ion),airline pilots (union),the list goes on and on ,now go over to the world trade center memorial and tell those families who lost they're love ones ,going into those building they were lazy,igorant,son of @@@@...At the end of the day this is still just about business and worker relations..
