Verizon aggressive toward workers

Dear Verizon Executives,
Your company credo states, "We have work because our customers value our high-quality communications services. We deliver superior customer experiences through our products and our actions. Everything we do we build on a strong network, systems and process foundation. The quality and reliability of the products we deliver are paramount. Customers pay us to provide them with services that they can rely on."
Yet, you are forcing the people whose backs you created this network upon to accept a contract that sets the working person back 50 years while your quarterly profits are breaking records. As Verizon customers, we demand the qualified service technicians be given a fair contract and put an end to this corporate bullying.
Signed,
Consumers
Why is this important?
The CWA (Communication Workers of America) were forced out of collective bargaining with Verizon because the company has decided to not honor existing collective bargaining commitments. At this time, Verizon wants workers to give back money, security, benefits and even home-life by dictating a 100 mile radius where a worker must report. Meanwhile the company is showing record profits and is essentially telling its workers "Take it or Leave it". As of Monday 8-9-2011, the company believes it can handle the work load for the 35,000 Verizon, FIOS, and Verizon Wireless employees who are CWA or IBEW members. As citizens who are afforded certain rights as subscriber to these services, we have the right to qualified service technicians and we must call, write and email and demand only qualified technicians during out-of-service conditions.
