Sometimes a board is just that... | 0
.... a wooden plank that doesn't feel, listen or respond to its surroundings. I'm hoping that Verizon might be different because history tells us that when Bank America, Netflix, Dunkin Donuts didn't the customers reacted. Can I count on Verizon to pay its fair share of taxes, to reward and pay its employees in a manner equitable to what it pays it executives to make good decisions? Or do I need to rethink my association with Verizon? Your actions will speak loudly Mr. McAdam!

Fairness to your corporations workers is critical to your success | 0
The United States is going through a difficult period economically, while many of you who are already rich are prospering. Just as we like fair play on our ball fields and courts, American industry ought to play by just rules. That means you are in a position to urge fair play at Verizon and elsewhere in corporate boardrooms. Now is the time. If you do list, Verizon and its affliated businesses will realize consequences. You yourself will never be poor. But you will be disgraced. If you look at the history of the American labor movement, despite you contempt for it, you will discover that business success depends on labor and good relations with workers. It's your choice.

You expect your workers to give back their hard-won benefits and pay even while you and your moneyed peers wriggle out of your financial responsibilities to this country. Pay your taxes and treat your workers with respect.

I am a Verizon customer and have been for 10 years. I believe in loyalty to businesses that provide excellent service and I select only businesses that are fair to their employees as well. This is why I am deeply worried about the treatment Verizon employees have been receiving. They have been so courteous to me while I can't say the same for employees of other businesses. You expect your workers to give back their hard-won benefits and pay even while you and your moneyed peers wriggle out of your financial responsibilities to this country. Pay your taxes and treat your workers with respect. Thank you for your prompt attention to this grievous situation.

I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for over ten years. I have an uncle that works for your company. You employ hundreds of people in and around my community. I do appreciate the good things you do. However, I also realize that this country has been shaken by the financial crisis. Income inequality has grown to epic proportions and the "trickle down" theory just doesn't work. How can you ask for tax breaks, pay millions in bonuses each year, and then turn around and ask your employees to sacrifice? It is shameful. Please, help to shoulder the burden. Build up from the bottom instead of propping up the elite. We will all benefit in the long run. Thank you for your time,

Treat others the way you would like to be treated. You can't go wrong with that. I have been tempted to take my business elsewhere for better rates and ethical standards, but the only reason I have been a loyal Verizon customer is because of the people who work and represent the company. You get the best out of people when you treat them with the kind of respect you would want to work under. Take your name off the stigmatizing list and be remembered in history as a leader of equity and common decency. Thank you,

RN struggles to live in NYC | 0
Dear Mr. Pandit:
I am writing to you as a solidly middle class Manhattanite, a registered nurse at New York Presbyterian / Columbia University ("Columbia-Presbyterian"), who struggles every day to continue to live in New York City.
At the moment, my family and I are barely managing to remain here, despite what most would perceive as my highly respectable salary. But we simply can't compete with people who can afford $10 million apartments. And as sad as it is, it feels even worse to know that many of those people didn't actually EARN the money they are using to squeeze us out of our city; that money is ill-gotten gains, much of it paid by me and my fellow Americans as tax money -- and given to the banking industry to bail the bankers out.
Now those banks won't even pre-certify my husband and me to purchase an apartment -- the same banks that gladly accepted our bail-out money. And those bankers are still throwing "their" (read: MY) money around, keeping (luxury) real estate prices high, and squeezing most of us out of our homes.
Thanks for your concern,
Dara

Please pay your fair share in taxes & support a fair contract with workers | 0
Dear Mr. Shammo, I am writing to ask you to please stop using pressure tactics to lower corporate and individual capital gains taxes. People who do well in America should do well by America. Also, please support a fair contract with your workers. We will need to move our business to Comcast if Verizon continues to treat its workers unfairly, by not agreeing on a just contract with them. Thank you very much!

Verizon customers care about Verizon works, not the cushy execs | 0
Dear Mr. Lowell, As a Verizon customer, I am beyond disappointed in your company's approach to business and worker rights. Taking away your workers' benefits and not paying your fair share of taxes is as despicable as it is un-American. If you do not grant your workers the benefits THEY DESERVE and the federal taxes YOU OWE THIS COUNTRY for housing your business, then I will happily move my family and I to a different cell phone company. In fact, I think I'll go ahead and cancel my plan by the end of the week and encourage all of my friends and family that use Verizon to do the same. Sincerely, An angry American and customer

Cable-vision is looking better all the time. | 0
When I heard about Fios, I couldn't wait to subscribe to Verizon because Cablevision , my only choice till then, treated it's people so poorly, and I knew that Verizon took care of it's workers. Well, I thought I knew anyway.Gentlemen, the workers of America are your customers, and we are watching. Get us riled up enough, and we'll stick together like you can't believe. If you don't believe me, ask Governor Scott Walker how its going out in Wisconsin. I'm not talking threats, I'm talking consequences.

How will history judge today's corporate leader. | 0
Corporate leaders of the 19th century like Morgan, Carnage and Rockefeller are thought of today by many as the "Great Robber Barons". Man who made fortunes while the blue collar people who worked for them subsisted. Verizon is a great company and the people who made it great do not just work in corporate board rooms but in bucket trucks, customer service offices and in customers homes. Our national economy depends on people like these being able to buy homes and cars and being able on put their children through school. A fair contract is all they ask. For the sake of Verizon's and even your own personal legacies and allow your workers to have a fair contract. Thank you for listening.

Limiting the the struggle to survive | 0
There are corporations small in number I admit, that take quality care of it's employees eliminating turnover and other negatives. One such company comes to mind started in 1895 and Harvard refers to it as a teaching tool. I hope Verizon can find concern for it's employee base to do better than just survive. Your customer,

Please do all in your power to see that workers' rights are respected and that they get a contract that will give them a fair share of Verizon's profits and provide them with decent benefits.

You owe your wealth to your employees! | 0
I am a Verizon customer since 2006. I have no intention of renewing my contract when it expires this April because I support unions, and I expect the companies I buy services from to treat their employees fairly. When you do not negotiate with your employees represented by the Communications Workers of America, you are not treating your employees fairly. You can do better.
