Re: Quarantining Verizon's Union Workers (none / 0)

Interesting Matt, and I don't know enough about CWA yet to figure out where they are on policy grounds. But for what it's worth, note the strongly worded response to Art's post by one Laura Unger, this gist of which is "you underestimate the CWA and you insult its members." But whatever, there's something important going on here beyond what one thinks of this national union or that one, or whether FiOS gets you 5 Mbps or 50. At the end of the day, the 400 VZB techs in the northeast have asked for a union and not gotten one. As Verizon grows, union density drops. I for one think it's useful to suss out why that's the case.

Right, and the reason it's happening is because CWA has allied itself with the people screwing them over instead of the progressive movement.

I do know what CWA is doing on policy grounds.  It's tragic.

Re: Quarantining Verizon's Union Workers (none / 0)

Suggestions? How can the CWA ally themselves with the progressive movement and not Verizon? Let's find solutions instead of pointing fingers. I am a member of the cwa and employee of verizon. I don't see what you speak of from our local. But i have been urging our unit president to check out this and other sites. Help show me and them the way.
