    I saw only one post in an unrelated thread about the Verizon strike and the delay in scheduling a repair appointment. Are there any emergency service related impacts that this strike will have?

    I heard from a couple of Verizon guys during their lunch break from the picket lines that the company is bringing in 20,000 non-union workers from other states to fill in for the striking workers. According to these guys, Verizon netted about 6 BILLION in PROFIT last year and their CEO's made over a quarter BILLION dollars in salaries and bonuses just last year but they're trying to send almost 10,000 jobs overseas to save money.

    Sounds like union busting to me and they won't even negotiate with the unions.

    this note is advise all of you verizon techs represented by cwa&ibew are back to work the company sluts who want to take away our benefits realized they could not function without there techs ceo mcadams had a conference call with cwa vp&ibew asking the techs to come back to work ceo mcadams informed the union the company was in bad shape as a sign of good faith the union agreed to return to work this is not the end many major issues must be settled contract talks are in progress aword of thanks to the many union brothers&sisters who showed there support when the picket lines were up

    before i start kudos to the fdmv for a grat job they do under some deplorable conditions back in the early nineties a rally was held to protest contract firefighters on a very frigid day in february a very clear&loud message was sent to these guys go home your not welcome in westchester the feeling of unity&strength is something myself&my union brothers will never forget i honestly feel that a rally of this magnitude held in the vern would be a great help to the guys there mayor ernie his foot doctor commisioner&city hall cronies must be told to stop playing russian roulette with lives&property people wiyh informational picket signs bullhorns&flyers should also help the weather is nice a lunch time rally will turn some heads i hope everyone will take this in the right way after guys if this works it could save your life or someone else's hope to see all of you at a rally in da vern

    Well Put Capt415, I could'nt agree with you more!  It will make things safer for the F.F.'s and the Public.  The only person who won't want it back in service is the Mayor.  God only knows what he's thinking.

    mayor ernie& his fire commisioner says they aint got no money iguess thats why they have wasted over 2million dollars on the new circle a hip hop musuem thats just a hole in the ground and other wasteful thing i wonder what has happened to the tax money from all the new business in town
