Can you imagine putting your child in danger?  I would never put my son in this position.  The CPS needs to take this child away from this fucking union POS.


Verizon POS puts his daughter in front of a vehicle!

Thats friggin insane.

Unions must go. This should be a commercial for ANY state or local govt. fighting against the unions.

Wow!  Sometimes it amazes me that some people are parents!

I feel sorry for the girl; her future is doomed.  With a father like that teaching her how to relate to people, she's going to have a long line of men behind her that are tired of her shit in about ten years.

Yeah, that truck almost ran over her!
Ok, not really, and it is lame to take your daughter to work when work is a union strike, but the kid was not in any danger. Lets leave the 'extreme reporting' to the mass media.

How long before they can go ahead and just start firing those clowns?

These people are mentally defective.  If somebody wants to do your job for cheaper, then they deserve the job.  That's life.

I should sell my house to a union guy because clearly they'll pay me what I deserve and not shop around for the best price/deal.  

If you wanna get pissed, read this thread.

he should lose the right to be a parent to put his child in danger.

She has no place being there.

He made a choice to not work - he has / had a job but because he is a greedy ass and does not want to get with the program he uses his child to do his dirty work.

what a fucking idiot

What a strong family man.  An inspiration for all of us.  All hail the humble worker!

THOSE ARE ALL FALSE FLAG OPS!  LONG LIVE THE PROLETARIAT!  DEATH TO CAPITALIST PIGGS!!!

Bad Dad, lose daughter!

He didn't actually put her in danger. The man driving the truck is almost by definition not as irrational as the dad is.

OTOH, the dad is exploiting an underage scab picketer, which ought to carry some consequences.

I heard that on the news the other day....talk about being intellectually vapid.....to the point of insanity. I agree, CPS needs to nab the kiddo.

Subject: updates for mon. 8-8

Another day and no good news. The company filed its initial injunction against us in Burkes county and asked that it be applied across the state. We won an initial appeal against that request so the company would have to get additional injunctions everywhere else. Apparently our appeal was overturned because I got word tonight that the initial injunction now applies everywhere. While I haven't seen or read the document yet, I know it limits us to 6 on a line. I am trying to learn if that means 6 at an entrance or 6 at an address. I am also of the opinion that we aren't going to tell the company any of this. Let those bastards figure it out for themselves. If we have more than 6 at a site and the company calls us on it then make them show us their copy of this injunction. As soon as I have a copy and have reviewed it I will get it into your hands as well. If we have to we will put any extra bodies in cars across the street and they will be our flight squad to chase the first truck out.

The company is using out of state cars/vehicles that are unmarked except for verizon door magnets. There is a possibility that other Unions may be accessing our facilities whether building or manhole. If they are you may first beat them repeatedly with a tire iron then advise them that we are on strike.

District 2-13 President Ed Mooney went to new York to meet with other Union Leaders as well as McAdams and came away convinced that this could develop into a very, very long fight. There was absolutely no positive that came from his meeting with McAdams.

Keep pushing the pickets at verizon wireless. The number of stores visited daily is a part of the call now. If you are out of fliers let me know. There is a new flier and I'll get 100's of copies made for us to hand out. If we can generate the support of the employees (look how hard we fight for employee rights, etc.) as well as the general public it bolsters our image and public support grows. Believe it or not the public is more with us than against us right now and we need to take steps to keep it that way. If we can keep people out of the stores it will also be a benefit to us because that is money that will be spent on a competitor and not verizon. Any lost profits in wireless only emphasize our value.

The company line is that WE are greedy. The truth is they don't want to pay our health care. Keep in mind we are already footing 7% of the cost.

So far there is very little service interruption being reported from across the state but that could certainly change. There is no telling what the untrained scab ass contractors that this company is using are capable of. A non-Union contractor could do all kinds of damage and not even know it.

A new mobilization is to get everyone in the habit of calling repair several specific times a day. For example, some at 10am others at 11am etc. to keep a steady and disruptive volume of calls slowing the companies ability to take real ones. Have everyone dial *67 first if they are nervous about their number being tracked. A direct number to repair is 412-394-2191 in case the 800 # is busy. A direct fios number is 800-314-7045. We can start our own time table to do this. I think the biggest part is to get EVERY member doing it at different times through out the day.

Last bit of gloom for today, there has been absolutely zero progress made in talks since we struck verizon. Mooney's feelings were described as not days, not weeks but months. The company is surprised that we went on strike!

We cannot sit back and wait. You folks are kicking serious ass! It was requested that whenever possible get pictures of families walking our lines together. Spouses and children who stop by or come for a full shift need to be highlighted and photographed. Matt B. Thanks for the picture of the kids in Bethel. It is exactly what that is about.

Mr. Sosak, excellent use of the bullhorn today!!! I think you may be getting invitations to take your show to other rallies!!

Put the word out that we have a lot of work to do. Prepare everyone that their picket assignment is not their only responsibility and we have plenty for them to do.

Get some rest. We are just getting started.

Holy shit, really?
If the amount of "danger" that girl was in is the measure of unfit parenting, every parent with guns, knives, electricity or bathtub in their house should get a visit from child protective services asap.

Hopefully the guys in the truck relayed their thanks to Father of the Year, because their families appreciate his job!

"That's who YOU'RE hurting, scab!!!!"

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS STRIKING, INSTEAD OF WORKING...YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!

You know, when my dad's union(IUOE 150) went on strike last year, my dad decided to attempt to find work and side work to continue to support his family.

You know, what rational people do?

I work with abused and at risk kids, she will be abused by her boyfriends and husbands too.

A picket line is no place for a child.  I have absolutely no sympathy for these striking idiots, unions continue to lower themselves as years go by.  Verizon should get by without these people and forget they ever had a union to deal with.  The time of unions is up, they going through their death throes now.

and just like a wounded animal, they are at their most dangerous on their way out.

Nice mouth there "dad".

I've worked around brain washed union guys before. Their allegiance to the union is scary.

I was taught if you were good at your job, you would always have work. Having the union decide some hack works before a qualified guy is why I quit the carpenter's union over 30 years ago. Fuck'em.

FUCK UNION ASSHOLES

I would simply start advancing slowly and let Darwin takes it's course

I just can't write what I want to here. People like him are just what

ran businesses out of this country. The Breaking point is near.

+1

Fuck unions and their tactics.  

Its the same as having a bunch of thugs "obstruct."  Extortion thinly veiled as honorable strikers.

Look, if it weren't for the CWA, half those poor bastards would be working 18 hours a day, 6 days a week, in deep subterranean processor mines with only one birthday candle every 35 feet for light. They would hear the footsteps and relatively joyous chatter of South African gold miners overhead. Other Verizon employees would be spending six weeks at a time pulling seven 12s a week operating one-man aquatic plastic harvesters at the bottom of the Marianas Trench - and they would not be paid for decompression time at the end of each tour !!!

Show some respect. The unionization of employers like Verizon is all that stands between the American working man and the Third World.

Thats disturbing.

No different from the Palis that send out child suicide bombers.

You are off base for sure.



They did in fact help get safe work standards implemented. We now have safe

work laws in place because of their efforts. I have worked many years if a Union

Shop. The things I saw were appalling. They are nothing but leaches now and are

pretty much socialists. There is no need for them any longer.



 

Don't worry it happened in NY where union thugs are safe from law biding citizens who may want to defend themselves from death or grave bodily harm while trying to make an honest living.



I bet they won't try that shit in a free state like VA. We are right to work(Unions can go fuck themself) and we have shall issue CCW. We even have open carry which doesn't require any license. Take that TX and FL.

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.

You're grabbing at straws...just because I have guns doesn't mean I push my kids into the line of fire...and I have electricity, but I don't wire my kids and hand the switch to a stranger. You seem to hypothesize that inanimate objects are capable of self-animation as a basis for your assertion...



This guy put his child in front of oncoming traffic and gambled her life that the traffic would stop. That is the very definition of 'child endangerment'

I seriously doubt the little girl is a member...

Cut him some slack he was taught by a union teacher.  

 

very much in

Sickening

They are paying a whole 7% of their medical? Oh the humanity!



Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

We pay about 400 a month where I work for a Family of 4. That is far more

than 7% of my pay.... Far more. You would think that they would realize that

times have changed and they should be thankful they even have a job like that.



 

I am well aware that lineman work was once astonishingly lethal.

I dont think that's what he was implying

Classy father.  The girl will have fond memories from her childhood..
