Default Verizon Seeks Injunction Against Unions

The Unions are getting nasty:

Verizon is asking the court “to issue injunctions to stop demonstrators from blocking entrances in Newark and Dover, shutting off power and using “crazy glue” to jam fence mechanisms and service-truck locks,”

btw, Jason is one of those managers who are "filling in". All employees are working 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Salaried employees are NOT getting overtime for working their normal jobs, but if they move you to a normally union-held position (such as the truck drivers you see on the news), then overtime is paid. Fill-ins are ordered into one week of training and then they must fly to another state where they drive trucks, install and repair lines, and so on.
