Top 100 companies to work for, where is Verizon?
Posted
On: Feb 01, 2010 (08:04:47)
The dirty secret is out! Now the rest of the world knows what every Verizon employee has known for years. Verizon is not a great company to work for. Though Verizon markets corporate utopia and harmony through muli-million dollar campaign ads, any Verizon employee, regardless of position, regardless of business unit, regardless of union representation, knows that Verizon is not worthy to make any list that touts corporate values or community. It's official, Verizon was not worthy enough to even make the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For even though they were ranked 17th in the Fortune 500. Maybe it's the anti-union aggression; maybe it's the disinterest for an employee's quality of life; maybe it's the overall combative nature; maybe it's the violation of trust; maybe it's the lack of respect; maybe it's the absence of loyalty; maybe it's the continuation of broken promises; or maybe it's the culture of greed by corporate executives. It must sting a little, internally, that Verizon failed to make the list of elite corporations. Despite Verizon’s public relations to shape and defend its corporate image and reputation, it failed to hide the miserable truth. With failure comes opportunity for results, but only if the company desires that. At any time, a corporate executive, with authority and a conscience, can seize upon this opportunity by mandating improvements to employee conditions. When the executives decide that it is more important to fight competitors than it is to fight your own employees, then Verizon will find its name on the list of Best Companies to Work For. Don't hold your breath! |

Top Reasons to Support the House Health Care Plan
Posted
On: Nov 15, 2009 (20:09:22)
Top Reasons to Support the House Health Care PlanHere's how the health care plan that the House of Representatives passed will benefit CWA members: - All employers (except for small businesses) will be required to provide health care for their employees or pay into a fund. That means no more health care freeloading by some companies.
- It's fairly funded. It doesn't tax our health benefits but pays for health care through employer responsibility and a surtax on the very wealthiest families earning more than $500,000 a year.
- It ends abusive practices by insurance companies. Insurers can't deny claims because of pre-existing conditions or cancel coverage when a patient files a claim.
- Children up to age 27 will continue to be covered by their family's insurance.
- No more lifetime maximum benefit limits.
- Provides protection for pre-Medicare eligible retirees and creates a new fund to help employers finance health care coverage for early retirees ages 55-64.
- Provides a public health insurance option that will compete with private insurance companies and help keep them honest.
- Applies anti-trust laws to insurance companies (they're currently exempt from these laws) so insurers have to compete.
