[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 870737, member: 12570"] Verizon unionized hourlies are represented by several unions (CWA and IBEW) depending upon their location. They were bargaining from a disadvantaged position due to the steady decline in the landline business. I spoke to one of the Verizon techs yesterday and he told me that they basically wasted two weeks when they could have been working all along without a contract. He did say that the company, which initially wanted the union to accept 100 or so concessions, has scaled most of these back. I think the decision to picket in front of the wireless stores may come back to bite them on the butt. I also noticed an inflatable rat from one of the videos shot in the NYC area--is that the same one that the Teamsters used during one of theiir informational pickets? [/QUOTE]
