Uhm…get your facts straight. We worked for over a year with no contract. They picketed after hours to protest Verizon asking for way to many give backs…but we still went to work every day. I hate that the bulk of the kids out there thinks the world owes them a living. That people would rather sit on their fat asses collecting unemployment and welfare that I have to pay for than go get that job at McDonalds making $8 hr flipping burgers. The world needs ditch diggers too. Sorry that you can’t live on $25-30k…time to lower your standards and live within your means.
