Verizon: Strike, Hurricane, Flooding Created Issues
A one-month span from early August to early September was one to remember or forget for Verizon Communications, which says its made significant progress making repairs and reducing trouble tickets.
A one-month span from early August to early September was one to remember or forget for Verizon Communications, which says its made significant progress making repairs and reducing trouble tickets.
A Verizon spokesman acknowledged service disruptions in the wake of Hurricane Irene but denied that the company is foregoing overtime.
Workers represented by two unions returned to their jobs on Tuesday, Aug. 23, without new collective bargaining agreements and are working under the terms of a contract that expired on Aug. 6.
The two sides say they made progress hashing out a number of regional and local issues, enough to take employees off the picket lines and put them back to work starting Monday night. But not all picketers are impressed.
The Communications Workers of America says students, families, unions and progressive groups, as well as civil rights and community organizations, have signed the petition.
The Communications Workers of America, one of the unions representing the workers on strike, has sent a letter to Congressional offices, bringing lawmakers into a fray that has unraveled this week.
The union strike against Verizon is already taking its toll on union workers, non-union employees and Verizon executives. So who’s right to stick to their guns in this squabble over healthcare, pensions and more?
One of the unions that represents Verizon workers claims the telecommunications giant is trying to strip away 50 years of collective bargaining gains for middle class workers and their families.”
For example, more than 10 percent of the workforce at one North Carolina facility might be forced to fill positions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions if Verizon union workers go on strike.
Verizon reportedly is asking that workers contribute more for health benefits while the unions contend their members cant assume a financial burden in this economy.
