BARGAINING UPDATE
07/23/2008 - 4:57pm

 

The IBEW New England and the CWA/IBEW 2213 Regional Bargaining Committee continued to meet with the company today in Rye, New York. There is less than 10 days left before contract expiration and the company is sending us the message that they could care less about our members and their families. The company has made it clear that they have no interest in making any improvements to our contract. Verizon’s goal is to pay us LESS and expect us to do MORE work for them. It is clear, that the only way that this company is going to take us serious is if we strike them, and show them that they can not survive without us, that WE are the back bone of Verizon, that WE are ready to do what it takes to protect our jobs and benefits and provide for our families. Verizon should already know that we paid the price to get where we are today, and that we are willing to pay the price to stay here!

 

 

 

Fraternally,

The following description of a “Scab” was written many years ago by Jack London, the famous novelist. It still holds good today.
“Portrait of A Scab”
After God had finished the Rattlesnake, the Toad, and the Vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a Scab.
A Scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water logged brain and a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs, angels weep in Heaven and the Devil shuts the gates of Hell to keep him out.
No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not.
Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the British Army. The modern strikebreaker sells his birthright, his country, his wife, his children, and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer, trust or corporation.
Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country. A Scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his wife, his family and his class.
