Now is the time to strike again. Theyve sent all the little scabbies and EWAs home and expect us to just come back and play nice. I say we let them have it again until we get what we want. DO NOT RETURN!!!!

Everything still says tentative agreement, and I don't trust that things won't change! Why not stay out until we have a CONTRACT!

The call center job security is not as big as people are saying, just a year. If it was a big strike point why is it worth just 1 year. I smell a sellout.

Nice Vacation!

Stay strong.or waste the 10onths of effort! Sure the raises sound good, but are a wash with medical increases. The raises don't go in until after ratification they should be retro. AND they are still bargaining about relocations productivity... — read more 

Nobody wants to hear your b.s. anymore. Let's start talking about the RIFs in October.

This should have been ratified last August; the vz organization and McAdam started a fight and lost, so I want the agreed increase from 8/15, otherwise NO to the new contract. who is with me?

Accepting this offer would essentially be a total wash between the "raise" and the increase in health care costs. No contract = no Yahoo purchase and turmoil in Washington as the Fed would love to raise interest rates but will be hesitant to do so... — read more

The raises???? 3% after ratification and 2.5% on anniversary of ratification date for every year until August 2019. So if the contract is ratified on June 17 as predicted, our 2.5% raise in 2019 will be effective for approx. 6 weeks!!! But!!! Big... — read more
