Union will have a tough time winnig much on this one. Cable companies are beating up Verizon with service. At least where I am in NY.

It sounds as if Verizon is trying to avoid having to dedicate ALL income to pensions in 10-15 years. Somewhat like the auto companies have already slammed up against.


When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.

Our office is across the street from the old New England Telephone headquarters @ 185 Franklin St. in Boston. That building has supposedly been sold as Verizon has pretty much moved all 4E, 5E and DMS related work to NYC....although the company will remain on a few floors for switch/network gear and some administrative work.

Every time there is a strike, we are able to look out of the office windows, see their workers march around the building, carrying picket signs and chanting/yelling their message(s).

I suspect that will hold true tomorrow.

Didn't they just have a strike 6-months ago?

And if Verizon is in the red, good luck getting any of your demands.

@Kumba:

We haven't been on strike since 2000.

Verizon is still making a lot of money where I work which is NYC.

Honestly, if they get away with 10% of what they had put on the table, I don't need this job anymore.

They know that the time is right and that Union will gain absolutely no support from the rest of the population...

God helps us all.

hitechcomm same here. Comcast has been kicking the crap out of Verizon in the sales and service departments up this way and it seems like they don't even want the landline business anymore.

There is renewed talk that Verizon wants to completely exit New England.

If that were to happen, the only 2 companies that come to mind as possible buyers for the networks in Massachusetts and Rhode Island would be Fairpoint (now the RBOC in Maine, New Hampshire & Vermont) or at&t (the RBOC for most of Conneticut).

I'm assuming that you meant to say "red" in your statement.

Frankly, in today's economic environment, I'd be more happy to have a job. The last thing that I'd be doing is striking against the very hand that feeds me. I can assure you that finding a job is nearly non-existent in our industry. I'd be careful if I were you. We all need to eat and feed our families. What levels of profit that your employer makes (or doesn't make) isn't significant. Keeping your job IS. Backing your employer into a corner will net you with a net loss. I assure you of this.

I'd be thankful to have a job if I were you. Take my comments for what they are worth.
