Why would you think the union would get any significant wins? Past negotiations must have shown you that isn’t gonna happen. Especially with an extremely old work force who are on their way out the door anyways . VZ has no need to offer much
Likely the usual complete capitulation and regressive raises further offset by higher medical costs and reduced benefits.
Can't
Win
Anything?
Capitulation
With
Appeasement?
@s1 gotta think positive bro. If you focus on the negative then all you get is the negative. Stay positive they are building out fios. They are getting some government funding. They have settled early before. A couple times !
All I’m seeing on this post is a lot of pipe dreams. Let’s bring in reality. The outsourcing of calls is incredible, there’s a ton of vendors to take tech jobs, also Verizon is a billion dollars in debt. I would be preparing for a strike. A I is starting to become e reality and you union has done nothing to preserve your jobs.
@h6 thats my plan..unless they give an offer I cant refuse
It will be the five and one.

Re: @h6+1jy6x6536 ; go live your life , buddy . Don’t stick around too long as your life passes by.
I think I will stay long enough to collect full social security, Medicare and still get a full pay check
2 year salary 2 years age 2 years time. And we all out
I hope it something reasonable. It’s unbearable here in Hidden Ridge our Manager has no idea what he is doing. Comes in at 9 leaves at 4 and is very rarely here on Mondays and or fridays. I wish management would step in but as union folks we’re just for a deal so we can bail out. Cmon BS as director step in and monitor this guy
They need to get real and raise buyout money. $130,000 ish after taxes is nothing in today’s world.
I heard $200k for every year in the company plus 5 years of medical and pay after leaving.
Good deal if you ask me.
I heard when the co-k crows 3 times you would have denied me.
I have no doubt that this board will be the first place we hear all the real contract news posted just like the super super duper extra special eisp
I heard there is coming a big announcement sometime next week about the contract talks.. it'll be posted here as soon as it's official
They don’t need to reduce union workforce to lay off managers. They lay off managers all the time with not much concern to the outcome.
Are you sure it’s not the super super duper extra special eeeispppeeugottogo offer that would be the best one .Its so secret even the company and union have no idea about IT
I’m all in for the super duper EIPP offer. But I’m good with staying a few more years too. Interest rates will be down, buyout going up. It’s a win either way.
So a super duper secret enhanced offer !
what are they giving up cause the last 15 plus year CWA got nothing for their members.your rise in medical negate your small raise increase so you really get no raise,the rise in inflation last couple of yeasrs your got cr-p.pension band freezes since 2010 we got cr-p ,sh-t that goes on in the garages and the local just sits on there hands now days.all you hear from the union " oh they can do that""oh let me check"etc etc CWA su-ks,glad im leaving in 6 months
