Back on job, Verizon workers face huge backlog of orders; during their strike, thousands of service requests piled up
Article Abstract:
After an 18-day strike, Verizon workers went back to work with a settlement that provides a 12% wage increase over 3 years and various other benefit improvements. During the strike, emergency repair services took priority. But one small business has filed a $75,0000 lawsuit because it waited for new service through the strike and was nearly forced out of business for lack of phone service.
