Here's the typical union position...Gimme, gimme, gimme. The CWA has a history of opposing change and operational flexibility, while defending mediocrity and slackers. It's too bad that these negotiations must go this way. It really makes no sense for the industry, the country and the workers, at least not the good ones.
Perhaps change will come, but none too soon. Verizon is right not to let Verizon Wireless be a focal point in these discussions. They should do everything legally possible to keep the CWA out of Verizon Wireless.
"Mr. Bahr insisted that the union would resist efforts to pay more for health coverage.
'We find it unacceptable,' Mr. Bahr said, 'for any company to want to shift health care costs to our members while they refuse to take a strong position on how we solve a national crisis' of soaring health care costs and a large number of uninsured."
