The reason the union is doing this is...

They know that when the copper goes, they go, so they are trying to get people to force Verizon to divert money away from Fios, ensuring that they can milk the public for all they are worth as long as possible.

After all, maintenance costs are very high for copper and very low for Fios. When Fios replaces copper (i.e. Verizon spins off its copper business), they will all be out of the job.

 The cost to maintain the fiber lines is definately cheaper to maintain, however, now you have a couple of pieces of electronic equipment to maintain (BBU & ONT) which during the first lightning storm in many houses will have problems...not that copper doesn't have its problems during storms/wet weather, but fiber will have its problems and the equipment is expensive...
