VZ contract

[lurch]

It is funny that every VZ person I talk to ALWAYS mentions the CEO's salary and the high profits that VZ make during contract time.

Does the Union think that the profits should be divided by the 65K employees??

Do the folks who climb poles actually think that they deserve to have a salary and benefits package close to what a CEO or upper management have??

So with that mentality, a person who empties trash and works for a trash emptying company that makes 10Billion in profit should make 200K$ / year and have all of the benefits that their CEO should have because they are very profitable?

The VZ wireless employees who sell cell phone behind a desk should be making more than 8-15$ an hour? What skills do they have that would warrant a 70K/year job?

I know you are going to say that the employees should be making a "decent wage", and they should but not when they have a low level job. Sorry but most of the VZ workers who are laborers do not deserve to make the same salary or have the same benefits package as management even if the company had a 10 trillion dollar profit.

VZ Wireless is non-union to start with. Maybe that's why they're only making $8-$15 an hour.

So are you saying that they are underpaid for their skill set? IMO they have ZERO skills and should not be paid like they have a valuable skill set like the wireless engineers who design the network.
