Unions are putting the pressure back on Verizon to come to a new labor agreement by midnight tomorrow or else the communications giant will be facing a walkout next week from 65,000-plus workers. The original deadline for a new contract came and went last weekend with the Communications Workers Union agreeing to hold off on a strike. But labor leaders accuse Verizon of "dragging its feet" on the last few sticking points and gathered at picket lines yesterday in Downtown Manhattan, Garden City and Port Jefferson. Verizon reps were surprised by the new deadline, saying they had been "making good progress at the bargaining table."





Let em strike. I don't use Verizon right now and FIOS isn't coming here anyways.
and we care why??
Unions dont really work for the employee (havent we learned that from a MTA strike?) in the end they get what they were going to get (and it only costs the families of the workers vacations and Christmas)
Can you hear me now? Nope.
So much for the big network backing you up.
