Verizon technicians and customer service reps walked off the job over 2 weeks ago from the wireless business section.
The were striking outside the New York offices in New York City.
There are picket lines at Verizon Wireless stores in a number of cities.
Over 37,000 workers from all over the Country say it is about more than wages and benefits.
There was an offer from Verizon but it was rejected by the Unions that are representing the workers .

So it has trickled down to the workers. That is sad. I remember the strke I was in back 1977. They are not fun to go through. I hope they come to some decision soon.

Yep it is the workers who are dissatisfied. I hope they do something soon, The Unions.
I am not one for the Unions.

@Marcyaz ...Yeah, most aren't for the unions and that is why the workplace is such fun to be in today.

the whole economy is going to poo, yeah gas is cheaper right now, but one cannot afford to live on the wages provided, and when they raise those wages prices go right on up more, so it's a cycle of work hard to get nowhere.
