[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Wife is the breadwinner in our family and is currently on strike.'They are on strike so their pensions  they have worked hard for don't get frozen and call centers in the US don't get closed. There are call centers in rural areas that provide jobs for people, these employed people keep rural towns going. Verizon wants to close these centers and outsource to other countries. 
This is worth fighting for.
She has no been paid for over a week now, meanwhile the person doing her job is getting $78 an hour, twice what she makes. [b]We also lose our family health insurance at the end of this month.[/b]

Sorry your spouse is working extra days/hours OP but my wife would love to be working.[/quote]

I used to work at Verizon and did repair and installs during the 2011 strike. One of my two strongest memories (other than a striking worker in NJ screaming at my 25 year old female colleague from 3 feet away while she was working at a field terminal: "You fucking scab cunt whore") is a Facebook post by a union member saying that Verizon was screwing them over even during the strike by charging $20,000 year or or $1666 per month for COBRA. No, striking worker, that's how much Verizon was paying for your family's health insurance while management employees didn't have a pension and had to contribute a lot towards mediocre health coverage.
