"It has been just over one year since I left Comcast to work for Verizon.  During this year the quality of life for my family and I has vastly improved. 
I am now making enough money for my wife to stay home and raise our children.  I am also afforded the opportunity to spend more time on weekends and in the evening with my family instead of having to work every Saturday and until 7pm at night.
Now I am not saying Verizon is better then Comcast...I am saying that it is the IBEW that has made the difference."

“Being in a union everything is spelled out. My job rate my yearly raise and a cost of living raise. When I was with Comcast nothing was spelled out. I had to guess what my raises were and would never get to the top end of the rate.”

"I am an ex Comcast employee who was not in a union and now work for Verizon as a member of the IBEW local 2222. As a newer member to the union I’ve realized that the union is not just some third party, but the union is myself and my fellow co-workers who stand together and have the power to fight for what we deserve. Everything from pay and benefits to working conditions and job security are all better not because it’s a different company, but because it’s a union.

"There's really no comparison to having guaranteed compensation and benefits, and the only source for that is a union contract. Without it you're just an employee at will with no voice on pay, benefits, as well as working conditions.”
