UNIONS & LIBERAL TAXING GOVTS KILL AMERICAN MARKETS

Personally, I cannot stand Verizon one iota. They're too expensive and their service stinks to high hell. But this is a joke! The same people that are part of the MESS are "demanding" that their employer pick up the costs for it. These clowns Aguirre and Castillon havent a clue to what they are saying much less doing. If these fools had any business knowlege they would see that

A) You can't form abusive unions that demand absurd employment conditions that INEVITABLY bankrupt a company, and expect the company to sit back and go belly up or not move their business to a more friendly state or country.

B) You can't tax the crap out of a company and expect them to survive or NOT look for an employer friendly state or country.

C) You can't ask a company whose experiencing one of worst economic conditions in the history of the company to not make cutbacks after the state has been raping them of taxes and other employer traps while your unions screw the company as well.

Did these union clowns REALLY think Verizon was going to withstand their abuse?

Hey Caca boy ... how many union members did you see getting bailed out by the tax-payers last year.

Must be a crying liberal here. He has the classic characteristics of one, with his assine aruguments. I mean what in the hell does "bailing out" have to do with Verizon having a bunch of parasitic union members that have pinched the crap out of them? Who the hell has mentioned anything about bailouts? And frankly what the hell does one have to do with the other? NOTHING you fricken M0R0N. It's another flakey liberal weak tactic.

Hey Surprise Me, what about the price of tea in China? You didn't mention that? THAT has more relevancy than the boneheaded bailouts. Fricken amazing.

Hey M0R0N if a murderer commits his crime in Seattle and his lawyer argues that someone in New Hamshire raped and murdered, does that mean the murderer in Seattle never committed the crime?

THAT is how insane and utterly stupid your comments are.

Look at the history of the country and why Unions were created. How most companys in U.S. pay the lowest possible wage, why because they only care about profits, which they should. So corporate america pass trade agreements and such to allow companies to outsource the labor to other countries for a lot less then american labor cost. Now thats good too if it does not affect you or your family and friends Huh!!!

We need UNIONS in every country then what would happen? The cost of labor or skill work PUBLIC and PRIVATE would be level. Nursing or any field for that matter.

Lets talk about the right to work any employer can fire someone for any reason,or even worst create harsh working environment, is that just or fair to any working person?

Union help balance the scale of power and fairnees in the employee employer relationship. Believe me all union members want the company they work for to be successful.
It is a partnership of trust and respect.

Verzion they want to do business in Ca. they want their employees some where else. The fact is Verzion invested a large sum of money in to their new plan for land line high speed internet a TV system this whole very well could be the down fall of version. They had to raise their price on landline service to pay for this project. What they had not counted on was the new digital TV system. They thought they could get the TV business delays set backs they have been unable to delevery the TV system. As a result thousands of people who can no longer get free TV have canceled their land line service and bought wireless TV. All the big 3 TV networks ABC NBC CBC will go broke from the new digital TV. What they had not counted on was the loss of the viedo market. If we lose Verzion Sonny Disney.

You Lost Me Brother What Are U Trying To Say What Is Your Point. Can You Articulate It Better!!!!

These people should be picketing outside of the state capital if they have a problem with business moving out of California. Arnold and his buddies are driving businesses, big and small, out of here with their ass backwards legislation and new taxes!

What they have done is thy have spent millions of dollars on as system which is land line it. When a wireles system would have been the industry standard. This system will never pay for it self. A wirless system will do the same job at half the price. In 10 years you will have very few wire system left. I think theiri a good chance the CEO could be in trouble for making a plan that will not work. I think the company has spent so much money when they find it will not make a profit it will be to late. If they had been in business in time to meet the change over the might have been able to make it. Their just to late to enter the market.

Where do I begin with union labor. They are overpaid and the quality of work stinks. Union labor raises costs which are then passed onto the customer. Unions protect people that do not want to work for a living. Verizon is a failing company and should stick to what they know. WIRELESS which by the way is NON_UNION.......
