John McCain and Airhead Palin take great pride in repeating the claim that John McCain is a maverick, but those days are long gone. John McCain sold his soul to get this chance at the White House, and threw his principles out the window in the process.

Oh yes, most likely there is going to be a strike. My next door neighbor works for Verizon and he has known (more or less) they would be going out for MONTHS.He and his wife have been planning ahead since the first of the year. He sees no light at the end of the tunnel and feels very strongly that August 1 will bring a strike........

I agree with the above. My best friend works for Verizon and she has known since last summer that they are going to strike August 2nd @ midnight. They recently did a survey in the union, 92% were in favor of the strike. She said her bosses are taking courses on climbing poles & billboards. Its happening.

One of my friends 65 year old mother is in training this week to fly up to the NE to be a scab. Her daughter is in management at Verizon and is hiring scabs like crazy here in Dallas.
They are striking for sure.

This is what you call, reputation management. They are embarking on a print and broadcast ad campaign to look nice for the public when it comes strike time. They want to come out sqeauky clean, but they won't.

I haven't heard the pro-Verizon ad, only the pro-CWA one.
Get whatever phone stuff you want/need done, done now. I spent several weeks fighting with Verizon scabs a few years ago when they had that strike soon after the takeover. Not fun.

In my 33 years with New England Telephone, NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, and the the latest, greatest checkmark in the world, I've never seen a more conseated, thoughtless negotiation by any corporate labor relations team. I guess that's why they want us to buy company stock, and savings bonds. They are truly proving that their goal is to spend $10 million dollars, to cut $10,000 dollars from their expenses. The last time we were out they handed us 4 month old HMO sign up packages with all the figures printed in them. Their out to screw their dedicated employees and the American public, and have all ready started to prove it. Good going Ivan, your headed for another bonus....
