 | my take on it I am a non union contractor in RI for FiOs. The strike would be bad for everyone, most importantly the customer at large. No one wants a strike, not in this economy. The Union worker needs this deal to work, so they do not lose what they have worked hard to maintain. Its their jobs that are being messed with, and it isnt right. No matter union or not, we all have our livelihoods to consider, and at the end of the day, union vs. non union we do work as a team, and i am looking forward to things returning to normal so we can provide an excellent service, to our customer. Now part of the issue aside from healthcare is the contracted non union worker taking away the "sales" etc. form the union folks. My take on it is that we still work as a team, and we help keep verizon going too. It s still a job, and we still need to live our lives too. I am looking to a long and happy relationship with our verizon union team mates. |
