Re: Look for Verizon press release soon... said by caco: Someone tell these IBEW idiots if there are less profits then there will be less job security for their members which in turn means less union dues. I see...so make sure Verizons profits go through the roof and it will filter to the employee....with that way of thinking now I see why people aspire to work at Walmart. All of those high paying wages and excellant benefits....you've hit it right on the head Einstein! Your moronic thinking has gotten the US to the point where a majority of your goods are now made in (Insert low cost country here). You know...in order to maximize profits. By the way, if you're in the IBEW you're certainly not stupid....this |

 RR206 join:2001-12-11 united state | reply to S_engineer If you're paid $10/hr, you're only worth $10/hr. Why do high school drop outs and failures expect to be overpaid to perform mindless jobs?
Imagine that. A company wanting to make money. I support outsourcing to the fullest to put these clowns (unions) in their place. |

 EPS join:2008-02-13 Hingham, MA | reply to S_engineer You clearly don't own Verizon stock- not much money to be made there, in fact, if you bought Verizon stock when the company was formed (Bell Atlantic + GTE) you'd have lost ~30% of your investment... rants about excessive profits have no place here. |

 JammerMan79Premium,VIP join:2004-05-13 Prince George, BC kudos:10 | reply to RR206 I would imagine that you'd be one of those people complaining that the level of customer service you've had with your cable/tel company has been decreasing in recent years. Why do you think that's happening? You pay $10.00/hr and you get $10.00/hr employees.. pay a decent wage and you get decent employees. -- I may work for, but do not necessarily represent the views and beliefs of TELUS Communications. |

 1 edit | No you don't. If you pay a "decent" wage at a union shop, you get some good folks but also a bunch of $10/hr employees making more than they're worth that you can't ever get rid of.
edit - true enough... happens everywhere, not just union shops |

Plus you have slackers everywhere, regardless of whether or not it's a union position. -- I may work for, but do not necessarily represent the views and beliefs of TELUS Communications. |
