Verizon Contract pt2

[TheSpecialist]

I deffinately realize it, but that is one of the great benefits of being unionised, I have worked both sides of the fence and know the difference.

I'm gonna have to go kick my sons arse for leaving Verizon...

You and your union mates are extremely fortunate to be on the winning side of that negoiation

I have seen penisons depart, benefits reduced in many,many markets.

Good for you.
I worked for non-union printing companies while other people I knew worked for unionized ones.
No union means you get a raise only if you get promoted or the company really has a good year.
If the job market was tight, regardless of thier profit - they figured they had you by the short ones, so you got nothing.
If the overall economy was average - then it meant that they would claim that did not make any money so you got nothing.
I came to realize that no union pretty much means you get the annual nothing. If you got two raises in five years - you were lucky. How many years can a person not get a raise and expect to move ahead in life?
