Verizon Workers Will Picket over Customer Service
April 4th, 2008 by brent
It seems someone at Verizon is looking after the customers. However, it is not management! The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 824, is Verizon’s largest employee union in Florida, and they are planning to picket on Monday.
“Verizon is not letting us do our jobs, and not letting us take care of the customer,” said Doug Sellers, president of the union. “Customers are waiting up to 10 days to get their phone lines fixed … If you have something as simple as static on your line, that could be out 10 to 15 days.”
The picket will only be ”informational,” meaning that no one is on strike and no one is quiting. It will take place Monday morning, before the day begins.
