wrong...they care about the repectable wages for their constituants rather than non-signitory contractors working for pennies. None of these non-signitory contractors have gone through an apprenticeship or had the level of training that is demanded. Futhermore, Verizon or Comcast (etc...etc..)do not pass on the savings to the consumer whether it's union or non-union.
So in ten years when all the good jobs are at Walmart, take a look in the mirror!
