Verizon Communications Inc. reported a dozen cases of sabotaged cable lines and warned of delays in repairs and customer service on the second day of a strike involving about 45,000 employees.

The telecommunications company said there have been 12 acts of sabotage to telephone lines and to Internet and television services in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York since the strike began.

Fiber-optic lines were intentionally cut in Tewksbury and several other municipalities on the East Coast, the company said.

Don’t cell phone companies share cables? If so, all companies will be experiencing problems. These thugs are no different than muslims setting IEDs.

I got some weird e-mails today from Verizon that looked like they were designed to get me to quit Verizon (I’m a Verizon customer).

Looks like the union got Verizon’s customer e-mail address lists.

It’s not extortion and racketeering if you’re a Union.

Fire them all. Plenty of Americans are looking for work and would eagerly jump at the chance.

I wonder if that had anything to do with a relative on Verizon being unable to call another on AT&T. They could call other Verizon and landline phones, but not AT&T cell phones.

Union's tell their members when to strike....

Charge the Union for the repairs or fire the lot of them, like was pointed out there are plenty of folks looking for jobs.

The sabotage began at least 6 days ago.

Coincidence?

Fire them all; if they are not criminals, they are protecting the criminals. This sort of activity can't happen withour many other workers being aware. None saw fit to drop a dime on serious criminality.

sabotage to... ...in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York since the strike began.

Does this list of states summarize the traditional states that breed criminal membership in Unions, both private and public?

Bribes, protection payments, intimidation, fraud, kickbacks, mayhem, murder and outright theft.

Am I imagining it?

Yes it is.
I thought that's why RICO legislation was passed.

Where is the Attorney General?
Perhaps his office should be RICO-investigated first.
Who is authorized to initiate THAT criminal investigation?

Unions are exempted from RICO. Why do you think they are so popular with the mob?

“My Peeps” Holder and “La Raza” Perez, the DOJ’s Affirmative Action duo of Muslim excusing, Black Panther forgiving, Marxist terrorist pardoning, Alabama and Arizona-suing, Fast & Furious planning, TSA coddling, ICE neutering but studying disparate punishment of minority teens in high school thug Obama enforcers?

The DOJ has become the SA in Germany or the KGB in Russia, but here in the US. Nearly all DOJ hires are former and current “Civil Rights” attorneys, crying about glass ceilings and the gall of an employer enacting E-Verify or God forbid, running a license of a felon to see if he has warrants.

Holder and Perez hate the US, and hate Anglos with all of their might...15 more months, Eric the Red, and soon President Palin’s AG may come looking for you...
