Lewisville, TX | unions The problem with unions is that our pay raises are public and most non unions are done 1 on 1 in an office. Now if you walked in for your yearly review and your boss says, "well we are doing great as a company but I don't think I will give you a raise", I bet everyone here would be pretty ticked off.
VZ union employee's represent a middle class working man. We might make more than some but certainly not more than most. Union companies also have long term employee's, something that is very vaulable in a business like this. It certainly wouldn't be uncommon for a tech to come to your house who has worked for verizon 20+ years. Now if you don't mind some contractor pulling up in thier personal pickup with a ladder hanging out the back and someone from india doing your tech support, then so be it. I will take a american union worker plz... |

Buddy, I work for Verizon. I am a second level (6G) manager. What you described has happened to most of us for the last two or three years.
If the union wants to increase its membership - How about unionizing first and second levels at VZ? |

Not sure what's happening in VZ land, but down here in former BellSouth territory, our first and second levels have been getting screwed royally by T. They're more concerned about our upcoming contract than many of us in Craft are.
Something outsiders don't understand, lower management gets whatever Craft gets from the contract. Next year when it's our turn, if I get screwed, my boss gets screwed also.
He's already been anally raped a few times since the merger, but at least the company has used lubricant. If the contract goes the wrong way, they won't be required to use lubricant anymore. |
