People in call centers who are being switched to working from home, how long do you think it will be before they are slowly laid off one by one without anybody noticing? No WARN, no media coverage, no bad publicity, no problem.
Verizon is not the first to think of this idea, and I'm sure it will not be the last.
Some people must drive their cars looking out the rear view window.
The CWA is just prolonging the inevitable, but why not, keep taking their money as long as you can. The company hates its union workers. No big secret here folks. So play the game. This 20 years ago union vs. non union is a moot point.
Just like the 50 shares of Unrestricted Stock. You think you're going to see that? Doubtful.
Verizon is one giant ruthless back stabbing place to work, the icing is called "better matters."
Remember "service excellence" more propaganda BS, "don't let the customer see behind the shower curtain." same BS.
Divide and conquer always works, spread the HBA'ers out to help the company along and then sever those ties as needed.
It's not personal, it's business tactics 101 in the year 2018.
Wishin', and Hopin', and dreamin' is best left to the oldies station.
Good luck to all on every side.
keep drinking the kool aid. i got tired of it and went to countrytime lemonade.
According got them VZW is the best company ever and the Union just wants their dues. Idiots
Maybe they should have unionized when we fought for them 20 years ago!! They didn't want any parts of the union so now they are getting a taste of corporate greed. Hindsight is 20/20!!
The idiots that think this is great will be in for a surprise. They’re starting the process of getting rid of you. Why celebrate that?
There's no way that Verizon will keep this up. They've slowly been consolidating people in their tower locations like Basking Robbins and others. Lose them in one location, hire them in another.
WFH - you pay for everything, electricity, connectivity, etc.
